During pregnancy, hormonal changes and the growing uterus can lead to shifts in the position of the cervix. Initially, the cervix may soften and move higher, but as the pregnancy progresses, it can lower and become more prominent in preparation for labor. However, these changes vary among individuals and depend on various factors, including the stage of pregnancy. Overall, while pregnancy influences the cervix's position, it does not necessarily "push" it down in a uniform way for all women.
