Long cervix

Hi gals!

My cervix has been measuring around 3.5cm on ultrasounds this pregnancy. When people talk about effacement, is that referring to the length of your cervix?

I read that a good predictor of labor approaching is the length of your cervix. Less than 1.2cm indicates that labor may be coming soon. I guess it just sounds like a long way to go from 3.5 (at 32 weeks - I’m now 33w5d) to 1.2cm at labor. Hoping to go into labor before the 40 week mark.

Thoughts?
