What the hell is going on with my cervix?!

TMI warning.

So my understanding was that when you're pregnant at the very least your cervix is closed, right?

Well I'm about 9 weeks and my cervix is very low, very soft and very OPEN. And there is HEAPS of CM.

. . . What the hell?? I'm a bit freaked out here.

I think high/soft/closed depends on how your cervix is generally once you've already had a baby. Mine has NEVER been as high as it was before DD since i had her. I reckon the same goes for openness - mine is as open as it was pre-DD during ovulation all the time now. At ovulation it is positively gaping! (yeah, even more TMI!) As for CM, i would say a lot of CM is very normal during pregnancy.

If you have no cramps and no bleeding i would think you have no worries. I have to admit that i didn't touch my cervix during my last pregnancy for fear of hurting the pregnancy (having had 2 losses already). Maybe next time around i will be more bold

Thanks, I feel much better now! I also read just then that in early preg it's like 'an overripe plum' which I thought was quite an accurate observation! I wasn't deliberately checking my cervix though, I stumpled across it on the loo ROFL

Mine is perpetually high. Even in full blown labour you need to be about 6ft tall to have enough reach. I can't reach it and I am 5'7".

So other than not knowing the condition of mine - like ever... its just to let you know that all our cervicies are inherantly different so without any other symptoms I would try not to stress it.

dont know hon...but i never poked around up there whilst pregnant (or otherwise infact...).

Agree with Paradise Lost......

Enjoy your pregnancy...

LOL! I did a bit of 'cervix prodding' while TTC but I kept my fingers well outta there once preggers as I was worried about infection.
