The position and texture of your cervix will change during your cycle: 1  During menstrual bleeding, the cervix is normally low and hard and slightly open to allow the blood to flow out. 2  After your period stops, the cervix remains low and hard and the opening to the uterus (uterine os) remains closed.
From early pregnancy â at around seven weeks-a plug of mucus seals your cervix to help prevent infection â hence the name, mucus plug. However, just before labour starts â or during the early stages âit can come away. Itâs nothing to worry about, simply a sign that your cervix is starting to open and labour may follow quickly or within a few days.
