A cervical length scan, also known as a cervical ultrasound scan, is a transvaginal ultrasound that measures the length of the cervix during pregnancy. It can be performed at any stage of pregnancy but is most useful at 17 and 21 weeks. 

A cervical length scan can help determine the risk of premature birth and other issues, such as: Loss of amniotic fluid, Previous cervical surgeries, Multiple pregnancies, and Uterine anomalies. 

A cervical length scan may be recommended for women who are at high risk for preterm birth, such as those with: a previous preterm birth, abnormalities of the uterus, and previous cervical surgery. 

A cervical length scan is painless and uses a transvaginal ultrasound transducer. During the scan, the cervix is checked for dilation and the location of the cervical suture. A medical report and advice from a care team are also provided.
