Miscarriage Sign #9: Opening of the Cervix
In healthy pregnancies, the cervix remains closed until the last few weeks before childbirth, which makes sure that the fetus stays inside of the uterus and protected from the outside world until it is fully developed. In certain cases, the cervix starts opening early, which means that there is a great risk of having a miscarriage.
In order to prevent a miscarriage or a premature delivery, a cerclage is placed. However, if for some reason, the cervix starts opening during the first few weeks of the pregnancy, or never fully closes then the risk of having a miscarriage is really very high.
