I have had a previous pregnancy loss and D&C. I am pregnant again (15 weeks) and do light checks on my cervix every now and then- just to check the position of it. It is now so high up and out of reach. Is this normal? I am afraid that it is shortening (cervical incompetentence) or is it normal for the cervix to rise up high at this point in pregnancy. Any answers will help. Thank you.
Your cervix is supposed to be high during pregnancy. I could tell during my TWW if I was pregnant or not based on cervical position. I also suggest you stop sticking your fingers in there You don't want to introduce bacteria.

I strongly suggest as pp said to stop checking your cervix yourself, address any concerns you might have with your ob, ask if you can get a cervical length ultrasound just to be safe but please stop putting your fingers that far up.
