Fund Cervical Length Check at 12-Week Scan to Help Prevent Preterm Births

Preterm birth and pregnancy loss cause lifelong trauma for families. I lost my baby at 18 weeks due to undetected cervical insufficiency; nothing could be done in time. Evidence shows early cervical length screening can identify risk and allow simple treatments such as progesterone or cerclage. Including this in routine NHS 12-week scans could spare families unimaginable grief and save babies’ lives. Nobody should have to experience loss first to then be classified as ‘at risk’.
