    Cervical changes in early pregnancy

    The position of the cervix during pregnancy does change but not at the same time in all women.
    After ovulation your cervix will drop lower in your vagina and feel firm, like the tip of your nose. During pregnancy, the cervix will rise a bit and become softer, but the timing of this happening will vary from woman to woman. For some, this will happen shortly before their period is due, but for other, this will not happen until quite a while after their pregnancy has been confirmed. Due to this variation between women, checking the position of your cervix to determine pregnancy is not a reliable indication of whether or not your are pregnant. More reliable ways to find out if you are pregnant is take a sensitive home pregnancy test or by visiting your doctor for a blood test.

    Cervical Mucus in early pregnancy
    Vaginal discharge of various forms is an early pregnancy symptom or a pointer towards conception. The amount of vaginal discharge increases in the earliest stage of pregnancy.

    This is because the estrogen production increases with the greater blood flow to the vagina. The vaginal discharge alas increases as you start approaching the time of labor.
    Cervical mucous is not an early pregnancy symptom but an indication of pregnancy and at the later stage of pregnancy. Cervical mucous typically indicates labor. Cervical secretions fill the cervical canal and create a protective barrier called the mucus plug.

    The cervix expels this mucus discharge and begins to dilate as you approach the ninth month of your pregnancy. The mucus discharge may come out in the form of a lump or it may be the regular increased vaginal discharge over the course of time. When a woman is pregnant, normally the cervical mucus is thick and tacky. It has does not stretch easily as the mucus of normal unfertile times does.
