38w pregnant cervix check

I had my cervix checked at 36 weeks and doc said it was still closed that’s all that was said..I had my 38w appt check and when the doc checked she said your cervix is soft and at about 50-60% my due date is April 17th what does this mean? I get a lot of pressure around my vagina like my inner thigh and down my leg and sometimes it even shoots through my vagina
