How accurate is cervix position

... I've checked my cervix it's very low and hard! I've read that a high soft cervix means pregnancy I'm so worried now. I want to test but I have my sisters baby shower tomorrow 😥 I wanted to wait before I test ! I couldn't handle a BFN then that 😥

My experience is that cervix position is the least reliable thing on earth!!! either that or mine is a serious fidget & can't stay still! I've also read that often your cervix doesn't move up straight away when you are pregnant. I don't think any symptoms or lack of mean much, the pregnancy test is the only thing that will give you an answer 100%. When is your test day? Xxx

Ps. Sorry if I came across blunt in my message, I really didn't mean to be!! Just think our bodies try to drive us crazy by not doing what they're expected to do but then surprising us!! Xxx

Hey, I've heard cervix position is unreliable. Apparently the cervix does go high and soft when pregnant but this can happen at any point up until around 12 weeks I'm sure, so everybody is different on when their cervix position would change.

I know it's easier said than done but try and relax and enjoy your day as much as you can tomorrow. Maybe do an early test on Sunday? Xxx

Thank you both... I'm not very good at not being in control and infertility takes all that away !! I think I grasp at every possibility. I'm panicking about everything at moment. Il probably test Sunday. I'm so nervous about my sisters baby shower tomorrow I've just panicked. It couldn't come at a worse time really xxxx

I know how ur feeling 💝 I also had a baby Shower for 2 dear friends last week , I just tried to stay away from to much baby talk and spoke about the presents , games and food ! I walked around taking photos for everyone and it kept me busy, best of luck 🍀

I hope today goes as well as it can, try to enjoy it and keep hold of the hope that it will be your turn soon. It must be really hard for you if it's your sister's shower though, I am sorry.

I have lost count of the amount of baby showers I have been to this year but I found I still could enjoy them. Caught up with lots of people & talked about stuff other than babies, enjoyed seeing my friends' faces when they opened presents, took loads of pictures & then went home feeling like I'd achieved something. The dread leading up to them was a lot worse than the event.

I know what you mean about control, I had that very same conversation with someone yesterday!!

Good luck with your test, don't lose hope xxxxxxx

I remember checking mine during 2ww and thinking it didn't feel any different to normal and I got my BFP. Not sure if it changed over pregnancy though as didn't bother checking.

It would be very early days so i wouldn't read into position of your cervix. X
