Just wondering if it means preterm labor will happen or can it be soft for 16 weeks

You should probably rest and not be on your feet, it is less likely you will go into labor. Good luck

I'm a bartender and planned on working until delivery. Do you think i should quite entirely? Does soft cervix mean get in bed or you will deliver preterm?

I am not sure but I was told my cervix was really hard and I probably would go over my due date. I would rest and stay off your feet

Unless you have to work to pay the bills you should take time off. Maybe only work twice a week. Standing for long periods of time can put you at a greater risk for preterm labor. It just means be careful about almost anything you do. If you feel back pain, pelvic pressure or cramps then you should go to the hospital. Good luck. Hope it all goes well. :-)
