Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the cervical length is considered to be small if it is less than 2.5 cm.But incompetent cervix is diagnosed by history of any previous miscarriages and short cervix.Also it needs physical examination before accurate diagnosis.According to length given that is considered as normal.
