A member asked:
I'm 39 weeks pregnant and what does it mean when your doctor says your cervix is high? is that abnormal ? will that cause problems during labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't worry: It doesn't mean anything critical. When you go into labor your cervix will soften, move forward, become thinner and dilate. Good luck and take care!
