A member asked:

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and taking progesterone suppositories. i've noticed my cervix is low and soft. is this normal or should it be high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be normal: A woman who has had several previous pregnancies may have a cervix that is low and soft early in later pregnancies. The ligaments around the cervix/uterus get stretched so much the cervix is not held up as high.
