Soft Cervix
I'm only 32+1 and had a cervical check because of sharp pains( lightning crotch) in cervix. I'm having lots of BH too. Midwife said cervix is soft. My next appt is soon but I'm starting to freak out a bit. I know everyone is different but how long can your cervix be soft for? In your experience was it weeks before labour or months?

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

Unfortunately dilation and effacement doesn't necessarily mean anything... You could go weeks while 3cm. If you start noticing bloody show or consistent contractions or leaking waters call your Dr or head to the hospital just to be safe. Just try to take it easy though.
I've noticed that the days where i do more physical activities (and the day after too) i have stronger BHs and i can hardly walk due to hip, back, and cervical pain. So i try not to put too much stress on my body. Easier said than done though ?
