Soft cervix early on?

DoublePortionDoublePortion member
in Pregnant after IF
Have any of you been told your cervix is soft early in the pregnancy? I went in for an appt today due to a small amount of spotting and passing a small clot over the weekend and my OB said my cervix is closed, but soft. (Spotting/clot most likely due to a lot of coughing.) He didn't seem worried and said they would be keeping a close watch on me anyway due to it being a twin pregnancy. I'm just curious if you had/have a soft cervix what the outcome was.

    I'm not sure if my OB used the term soft or not, but I had a lot of spotting the first few weeks and the OB examined my cervix and said it was closed, but was a bit sensitive.  She checked it again at 21 weeks and it was still closed and doing fine.  Hopefully soft just means it is a bit sensitive and bleeds a little easier than most?

    Me: 42. DH: 46.

    1st Pregnancy: MC, 11/19/00.

    2nd Pregnancy: DS born 04/10/06.

    3rd Pregnancy: CP, 03/11.

    4th Pregnancy: MMC, D&C 11/30/11, Genetic testing revealed Trisomy 4.

    5th Pregnancy: Ectopic, 2 doses of Methotrexate unsuccessful, surgery 4/10/12, right tube removed.

    Tried Letrozole January 2013-July 2013 (including 2 IUIs), all BFN.  After 2 1/2 years of trying for child #2, decided to "give up" after July cycle, based on AMA.

    August 16, 2013:  BFP our first month of "not trying!"  Still in shock.  Beta #1 (14dpo): 183.  Beta #2 (17dpo):  611.  Ultrasound 8/30/13: baby measured 6 weeks, 1 day, heart rate of 118 bpm! 
    Ultrasound 9/13/13:  8 weeks, heart rate of 176!
    Baby is due 4/26/14

    Thanks @tryingyetagain! I have spotted on & off the whole PG, but never passed a clot that I've noticed. I hope they do just mean it's sensitive. :)

    Nobody ever checked me early on to say if I was soft or not, just short based on ultrasound results.  Hope its nothing for you!

    Typically a firm, closed cervix is a lesser indication of labor/ripening cervix (in my OB RN experience). Hopefully it's just stays soft and doesn't shorten or dilate until the lil ones are ready. Will be saying a prayer for ya!
