Cervex position in pregnancy

Hi, my husband and I are thinking about having a baby. I have talked to some of my friends about this and they all think it is great that we want to expand our family. Somehow they all felt that it is their duty to tell me everything they know about the best ways to conceive and the methods of determining if I am pregnant. I always thought that doing a pregnancy test and a visit to an OBGYN would be enough, but they told me that my cervex position changes during pregnancy and that by this position I can tell if I am pregnant. Could you tell me if there is really some truth in this story that cervex position changes in the early stages of pregnancy?

Hi, it is great that you and your husband are thinking about bringing a new life into this world. It is also great that your friends want to help you, but you shouldn't listen to everything they say. They are correct when it comes to the fact that cervix position changes during pregnancy. However, this change is a very unique thing and the time when it happens varies from woman to woman. So this physiological change that happens in your body when you get pregnant should not be used as a pregnancy test. Home pregnancy test or a visit to an OBGYN can give you much more reliable answers. I hope you will achieve your goal soon.
