There are biological differences in the cervix between women, which may cause the cervix to have a different shape or position.
Before pregnancy the cervix is normally rigid and closed. During pregnancy it becomes softer and will decrease in length to facilitate dilatation at the time of delivery.
In women who have not given birth it usually has a pointed appearance and in women who have given birth it is more open.
The position may also vary depending on the position of the uterus or if the uterus has fibroids that may displace it.
