The cervix may become more sensitive due to increased blood flow to the uterus and cervix and general pelvic area. This is because it needs to be able to support a growing fetus within a women's body.

In general, it is in the same place it has always been. It is at the bottom of the uterus. It will dialate and become more open as the time for the baby to be born nears. The baby will pass through the cervix to the birth canal.

Can your boyfriend tell a difference in the cervix if your pregnant?

Yes, a boyfriend can sometimes notice changes in the cervix if a partner is pregnant, but these changes are subtle and typically not something one would easily observe. During early pregnancy, the cervix may become softer, higher, and more closed, but these changes are usually detected through medical examination rather than by a partner. It's best to rely on medical professionals for accurate assessments regarding pregnancy.


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.


How is your cervix supposed to look like and feel during a period?

Your cervix during menstruation will be lower in your vagina, also firm and closed.

I am almost 7 weeks pregnant and wondering if it is normal to have brown spotting two days after intercourse as it left me feeling sore and swollen?

Yes it can be. Your cervix is getting more vacularized and more sensitive. If you have any concerns whatsoever, you should contact your OB/GYN. They deal with this stuff all of the time and can verify that the bleeing is no cause for worry.


What does it mean for your cervix to be high and turned towards you whe you are pregnant?

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.


You are pregnant-5 weeks your cervix is still open?

You can't see your cervix. I'm not sure why you would think it's open. Have you put your finger in your vagina to feel it? If you do that, it should feel soft like your lips if you're pregnant. If you aren't pregnant it should feel hard like the tip of your nose.


I am 22 weeks pregnant my cervix is 2.1 cm what does that mean?

This means you have a short cervix. I am 22 weeks and my cervix is also 2.1 cm and I have been ordered to bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy and I may also have to get a cerclage which is a type of stitch they use for extra support for your baby. Having a short cervix during pregnancy increases the chance of preterm labor and even misscarriage. The farther along in your pregnancy the more weight and pressure on your cervix


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
