Hello,

If the cervical length is more than 2.5 cm then a woman does not have cervical insufficiency. In your case, because you already are having measurements of over 3 cm, it is unlikely you are at risk for cervical insufficiency.
On the other hand, because you already have a history of a couple of losses, it might be advisable to be closely followed with your doctor and for any complaint or change, you will need to let him know and have proper examinations.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
