French term or phrase: col compétent
I know that "Incompetent cervix" is when your cervix shortens or opens too early in pregnancy. But compétent?

Here the sentence:

Motif d'admission

Lors d'une consultation découverte fortuite d'un col compétent sur 6 mm funnel de 23 mm patiente asymptomatique, MF 2* ressentis.

Explanation:
Lorsque le col est dit « compétent », il reste long et fermé jusqu’à l’accouchement permettant au bébé de rester protégé notamment grâce au bouchon muqueux qui joue un rôle de barrière contre les bactéries.
