In this study, it has been demonstrated that measuring the CL between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation can predict late and post-term pregnancy. Prolonged pregnancy may cause neonatal and fetal complications and anxiety. CL measurement performed in these weeks can help prepare pregnant women for a possible prolonged pregnancy and cope with prolonged pregnancy anxiety.
