Tight cervix

[Peasandyoghurt]

I'm currently 8+5 and just remembered the last time I had a smear test (last year) the nurse commented that I had a particularly tight cervix/ opening. Just wondering now if this could have any implications for pregnancy? Is it a good or a bad thing?

It shouldn't make any difference at all.

Is this your first baby? Most women who haven't ever had a vaginal birth have a tight/closed os (the cervical "hole" or canal that dilates during labour).

Your cervix when you're pregnant is totally different to when not. And it will change a lot towards the end of pregnancy. In fact it changes a lot on every day of your cycle when not pregnant, good website showing this here.

Im sure your cervix is perfectly normal and no "tighter" than anyone else's.

If it was fine getting in, itll be fine getting out!

Thanks all, yes this is my first - which means I'm worrying about everything!

Sorry to resurrect, this is exactly what the nurse said at my last smear, and been googling! thankgoodness for mumsnet, and wow what an amazing weblink!
