Pregnancy

Explanation:

During pregnancy:

The cervical tip becomes soft.

Pregnancy is the time period during which a zygote develops into a fully developed offspring within the mother's womb.

During pregnancy, several hormonal and physical changes are place within an woman.

A significant change is seen in the pelvic region, cervix is the region between the uterus and the vagina. Generally it is firm. But during pregnancy, just after fertilization, the cervix becomes soft and high above the vagina.
