What does it mean if you are 37 weeks pregnant and your midwife syas your cervix is soft?

In: Pregnancy [Edit categories]

Answer:

When your midwife tells you that it means that your cervix is beginning to ripen and possibly efface and dilate. Currently im 1 cm dilated 60% effaced and have been in labor but not "active labor" for the past week. My cervix isn''t dilating so they dont consider that "active labor".
