I'm 29 weeks pregnant and my latest USG report shows an open internal OS with a cervix of 2.8, a funnel diameter of 6.4mm, and a funnel length of 12.8mm. I'm currently in the hospital, and I'm really worried about how risky this situation might be. Could you please help me understand what those measurements mean and what I should expect?

Why do fibroids cause heavy periods?

Uterine fibroids may put pressure against the uterine lining, which can cause more bleeding than usual. The uterus may not contract properly, which means it can't stop the bleeding. Fibroids may stimulate the growth of blood vessels, which contributes to heavier or irregular periods and spotting between periods.
