Can anyone explain?

So I have a high cervix at 39 weeks plus 1 , does this mean I’m far away from Labour 🥲

Cervical station can change overnight so I wouldn’t be concerned just yet

Cervix position and dilation can change in a matter of hours, so it doesn't really mean much

Just got to roll with it, try to relax totally until 40 weeks anyway then you can start thinking about sweeps etc

I've got a high cervix, in early labour it'll start to soften and make it's way down

It can change pretty fast. And you're still a week off from due date. Think of it this way, a high cervix like the top of a beer bottle. It's long and tight (no dilation, so imagine that bottle top is closed tight without the hole) As it softens, that is gonna get shorter and move down, softer and start to open wide for dilation. So, it won't be high up anymore. But, this all can happen slowly or very fast. So it may be high up now, but it can change anytime it's ready too.
