During a second pregnancy, many women report that the cervix may feel softer and more open compared to the first pregnancy, as the body has already gone through the changes associated with childbirth. Some may also notice that the cervix appears lower in the vagina. However, individual experiences can vary widely, and any concerns about cervical changes should be discussed with a healthcare provider. Overall, the cervical changes can be part of the body preparing for labor as the pregnancy progresses.

The cervix is in the very back of the vagina. It feels a little like a ball with a slit in it and serves as the entrance to the uterus. Stimulating the cervix is often described as feeling simillar to being kicked in stomach.

Where should the cervix be in early?

During ovulation the cervix is soft, high,open and wet. Around the time of menstruation the cervix is low and hard. I've heard OB/GYNs making this analogy when referring to a pregnant vs. non-pregnant cervix: A non-pregnant cervix feels like a hard, unripe piece of fruit, while a pregnant cervix is more like an almost over-ripe plum. It becomes very tender and engorged with blood, especially early on in pregnancy.In the early stages of pregnancy you may notice that your cervix will rise a bit and become softer, but the timing of this happening will vary from woman to woman. You may see the change in your cervix shortly before your period is due or you may not feel this for several weeks.As the pregnancy progresses you will probably have an increase in vaginal discharge, but the cervical mucous is fairly minimal during pregnancy. Some women may notice a change in their cervix in very early pregnancy but cervical position is not a good sign of pregnancy. That is because the cervix changes not only from woman to woman but from day to day and could even be different in the same woman at different times of the day. I would recommend to check your cervix right after your period ends and check it every day, at the same time, in the same position. That way you know how your cervix is suppose to feel at what point during your cycle and if it doesn't feel that it's suppose to you could use that to help you determine pregnancy. For a woman that doesn't check her cervix regularly I would say it's next to impossible to determine if she's pregnant or not by checking it. Your cervix should be high just like during ovulation, except closed. It will also still feel soft, more like lips. Unless you've been checking your cervix consistently there is almost no way to tell where you are in your cycle through this method. Remember to wash your hands before you check, but other than that, you should have no problems with infection. Just don't get your hopes up that you'll be able to detect pregnancy through your cervical position, especially if you haven't been monitoring it's position already.


What connects to the uterus to the outside of a woman's body?

The uterus does not truly connect to the outside of the body. The neck of the uterus ends in the portion we call the cervix. The cervix sits at the very top of the vagina, which is all inside the body. The vagina is what actually 'connects' to the outside of a woman's body. It is a passageway, like a dead end hallway, which ends at the cervix. The cervix is like the tip of a nose protruding into the very top of a vagina. The cervix feels just like the tip of a nose, except the cervix has one very tiny slit while the nose has two much larger nostrils (larger than the slit in the cervix.


What does a non pregnant cervix feel like?

A cervix does not necessarily feel different during early pregnancy. A firm feeling cervix that has drop lower to the usual position may be an indicator for a pregnancy, but this may also be the case during common menstrual cycles and might not be related to a pregnancy at all.
