Changes in cervix and CM in early pregnancy

Q

What changes can I expect in my cervix early in pregnancy, and what cervical fluid (if any) is present during the early parts of pregnancy?

A

The cervix maintains a low position in the vagina and becomes notably softer. The space behind the cervix, where it connects to the lower uterine segment (the isthmus), becomes so soft that it seems almost disconnected.

Cervical fluid remains a bit more slippery than would be expected just before a period but without the long egg-white strands. It is generally clear, but viscous and thick. It will soon form itself into the mucus plug, so the cervical fluid gets drier as the pregnancy progresses.
