The tissues can soften during pregnancy from hormaonal changes. If you
have had children before, the drop in the cervix can be accentuated.
Without knowing exaactly what's goig on, I would think you might have a
couple of exams during the next few months to make sure that the cervix
doesn't drop more or goes up.
