Patient's question:
A close friend of mine is about to give birth in two months. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said her cervix was too tight. She is worried that it might affect a natural birth, so she wants to know if a tight cervix makes it difficult to give birth naturally.Doctor's answer:
Expand it to 10 centimeters when the fetus is delivered, and tight cervix makes it impossible to have a vaginal birth. The cervix gradually softens as the due date approaches and labor progresses, and under normal circumstances, vaginal birth is usually possible. For example, factors such as placental conditions, amniotic fluid conditions, and other factors can affect it, such as uterine height, the size of the birth canal, etc. Overall, if all data is normal, it is recommended to have a vaginal birth.
