how is the cervix supposed to feel right before period?

Larissa

my period is in 1 day. yesterday I had sudden cramps and lower back pain for a few min then went away and I had a wetness and thought I was starting my period but it was just watery/creamy cm. today when I checked my cervix it was low and very soft. is it supposed to be like this for period or is this how it is during early pregnancy?
