Hello ma'am and welcome.

This is the process of gradual ripening of your cervix, which feels like your vaginal lips are stiffening. There is absolutely nothing to worry about, although it will continue to progress through your pregnancy and slowly subside after delivery.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
