Usually the cervix is suspended just above the vaginal canal. A high cervix means that your uterus is placed high in the abdominal/pelvic cavity. During pregnancy, the cervix undergoes expected changes and becoming higher is one of them. These changes can occur at anytime during a pregnancy. I suggest you speak to your OB/Gyn for more information.

What does it mean to have a soft cervix at 21 weeks?

Your cervix can change daily when pregnant or not. It can even change height and position if you are constipated or just relieved yourself. If concerned while pregnant speak with your doc, other than that you can learn your cervical pattern but charting and checking daily at the same time and same position. A cervical check can not tell if your pregnant by touch alone.AnswerHi, I am not an expert, but i have been pregnant four times and given birth to five healthy baby boys!!

Are there any medical problems with having a high cervix?

I've never heard of a "high cervix" but I suspect they mean you have a retroverted uterus. Uterus is tilted backwards towards the rectum instead of forward behind the bladder. Many years ago doctors thought it was difficult to get pregnant if you had this condition, but there is no evidence to support this. PAP smear can be difficult due to "high cervix" doctor has to look up toward the ceiling to find the cervix. This can cause pain with intercourse in certain positions since the penis bangs into the uterus with sex, if so just try a different position and tell your partner what hurts. Don't worry about it, but might want to mention it before each pelvic exam.

Your cervix should be low and firm. During ovulation with cervical musus the cervix is high and open and wet. After ovulation it is firm, low, and closed. If you are pregnant it will be high, soft, and closed.

Are you more likely to get chlamydia if you're pregnant?

Changes to the cervix from the hormones of pregnancy may make it easier for pregnant women to get chlamydia. The same can be said of young teens. Because of the high-estrogen state, the cervix presents more columnar epiehtelium, which may make it easier for it to be infected with chlamydia and a host of other STDs.


Is your cervix open or closed if pregnant?

Closed. It is one of the ways your body helps to protect your baby. The cervix only opens slightly to allow the sperm in during ovulation, then if pregnancy occurs it closes and what is known as a "Mucus Plug" fills in the rest of the gap. As the woman gets closer to delivery, one of the signs of early labor is when she loses her mucus plug.. that occurs when the cervix is begining to dilate. At full dilation the cervix is open only 10 cm. There is one caveat to this, sometimes the cervix is "weak" or "incompetent" when it begins to dialate BEFORE approx 36 weeks. In this instance there is a procedure available called Cervical Cerclage. It is when the cervix is stitched shut to prevent miscarriage or early delivery of the baby. for more info on this procedure please cut and paste this link. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/cervicalcerclage.html


What does it mean when your cervix is 1.3 cm and funneling at 28 weeks pregnant?

Funneling is where you're cervix is thinning out and your cervix should be 3cm. I'm also having funneling that was noticed at 23w 4d and due to my cervix at 22w 4d6d high risk ob admitted me and placed a cerclage the next day. I'll be 25w25 tomorrow (9-6-12). My cervix was only 1.5cm and since cerclage, it has closed to 2.02cm. This is normal if you're in have your 9th month (36-40wks).
