Small Cervix

[shimmy0]

Everytime I go for a smear test the doctor always comments on my cervix being rather small.

I am 6ft tall and I always had assumed that because I have a long torso and wide hips that I am well proportioned for my height.

So anyway I completely had forgotten about my small cervix until last night when I was trying to remember the date of my last smear. I got really panicky and the fear of it hasn't eased at all, when I woke up this morning that was the first thought that came into my head.

I go for my first scan next week, so I am going to ask the midwife if this will cause any issues during birth. I have no intentions of having a C section, I would rather go naturally but I'm wondering if C section would be the only option?? I don't want to spend the next few days worrying about this !

It may be small now, but will it be when your uterus is expelling 8lb odd worth of baby through it after a hormone bath and being headbutted by said baby for hours beforehand?

That made me laugh lol thanks! I know it's supposed to stretch but I'm not sure if the damn thing would stretch open enough for the baby to get through safely? I guess every woman has fears of her first labour.

Nurse commented on my "tiny cervix" at my last smear pre-DD. Popped her out no problems.

Unfortunately no "tiny cervix" comments since

I'm pretty sure the size of your cervix has nothing to do with dilatation!!

I've never been pregnant before and I didn't plan on getting pregnant so its not something I would have any knowledge of or would have thought that it must be a common thing. OH was asleep so it was too late to get up and google it. I'm petrified of having a caesarean so I'm pretty sure right now that the fear of the small cervix was something that a lot of women with the same thing think about.
