ABSTRACT
Cervical length was measured at 34-36 weeks' gestation by transvaginal ultrasound. The purpose of measurement of cervical length before term was to reveal the association with the onset of term labour. This was a retrospective study of 362 women who were delivered at term at Mizmedi hospital, between August 2006 and November 2011. There was significant linear correlation between cervical length and the scan-to-labour interval in women with labour before 41 weeks. The measurement of cervical length at 34-36 weeks' gestation might be helpful in predicting the onset of term labour before 41 weeks.
