Question: Hello Doctor! Am 16 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy... I had mild brown to black old blood bleeding starting around 12 weeks. My doc ordered for a scan, baby was fine and she said nothing to worry about. She didn't do internal exam or check my cervix even after demanding for it multiple times. No check for uti too. This brown discharge continued for 3 weeks. Last week we went to another doc for a second opinion after getting increased discharge with hip and back pain... The new doc checked my cervix through speculum and mentioned that lot of brown discharge and that my external os is open. I had urgent transvaginal scan and cervix measured 4.3 cm. Then she made me admit immediately and put on ritrodine and antibiotics for 2 days since uti was confirmed after lab test. Now that the diacharge is gone and am feeling fine now...but worried about my external os being open so early and this is first pregnancy too. Am I at the risk of miscarriage or preterm labour??

Hello Doctor. In ultrasound, my cervix length measured 4.4 cm and internal os is closed. When my doctor checked cervix for infection, she inserted her finger and told me that external cervix is open and that it shouldn't be so if it is your first pregnancy. Anyways I have attached the report. Please advise.

I have attached it again for your reference doctor. Thank you.
