The cervix extends into your vagina and fills with mucus during pregnancy, this is called the mucus plug which is a protective barrier. When you're pregnant the cervix position is firm, long and closed until the third trimester

Overall, while pregnancy influences the cervix's position, it does not necessarily "push" it down in a uniform way for all women.
