A member asked:

Boyfriend says my cervix feels higher and that i'm tight? i feel tighter is this a good indicator of pregnancy?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not really: An over the counter pregnancy test would be much better. You won't feel that much of a physical change in early pregnancy except maybe breast tenderness.

Dr Beasley agreed

No: It really is not meaningful and is very subjective. If you think you may be pregnant, have a sensitive pregnancy test done. Good luck!
