Your cervix changes throughout your cycles. During ovulation it is soft, high, open, and wet (S.H.O.W.). When you are not fertile or close to ovulation it is higher and hard and dryer and closed. The only way you can really tell the difference between these stages is to start checking and comparing. It takes practice.
As far as cervical position during pregnancy....it is usually does change but not at the same time in all women. During pregnancy, the cervix will rise a bit and become softer, but the timing of this happening will vary from woman to woman. For some, this will happen shortly before their period is due, but for other, this will not happen until quite a while after their pregnancy has been confirmed.
Checking the position of your cervix to determine pregnancy is not a reliable indication of whether or not your are pregnant. More reliable ways to find out if you are pregnant is take a sensitive home pregnancy test or by visiting your doctor for a pregnancy blood test.

My cervix has always been hard and low...i got pregnant when it was hard and low...i guess the doctor said i have a "big long cervix" some people (like me) don't change shape. I am now 14.1 weeks pregnant =)

I thought it could mean you're ovulating, maybe not, I could be wrong. Good luck whatever it is.
