Are you checked for shortened cervix at anatomy scan?

Question

Are you always checked for a shortened cervix during your anatomy scan?
I have no reason to suspect I have one, but I’m naturally paranoid and should probably stop reading things, haha. 
I just want to know if it’s routine for doctors to check the cervix length at your 18-22 week anatomy scan. 
Thanks!

Answer

My cervix was checked at my anatomy scan 
They checked the length of it to determine if I’m at risk or premature labour

Answer

I just had my anatomy scan and they didn’t check it. Might have been checked at my last midwife appointment as she did a pelvic exam? But she didn’t mention it.

Answer

The technician that did my anatomy scan told me they check the length of the cervix with full bladder and the length of the cervix with empty bladder. I’m certain I only found that out because I specifically asked what they were looking to see after I emptied my bladder. That’s when she mentioned checking for shortened cervix. I’m sure lots of technicians do this but many parents just don’t know that’s what is being looked for unless they ask!

Answer

Yes mine was.

Answer

Answer

It should be done at the 12 week scan but if not yes ask them at your 20 week scan
