Dear wondering,
how far along are you ? The cervix
softens when you are getting closer to
delivery. It softens, shortens, then
dialates in preparation to deliver. If
you have a softened cervix now and you are
not full term, it just means that you may
deliver a little earlier. I'm sure you
will be fine as long as you are keeping
regular appointments with your doctor.

My doctor advised me that when you are
pregnant, the cervix is usually farther
back, closed, and soft.
