A few days before delivery my Cervix was really really far back and high and only the day of delivery did it start coming forward but I was induced so not sure when it naturally starts coming forward.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:06:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=841951&title=checking-cervix#841951 <![CDATA[checking cervix : Yeah chelle, I think in fattens...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=839923&title=checking-cervix#839923 Author: RinTinTin

Yeah chelle, I think in fattens out.

I think you'll be ok to go hunting but be very gentle and don't poke around for too long.

Thanks girls, I googled it and it can be hard to reach so maybe I'll just leave it alone for now. Seems it's ok to go hunting if ya want though]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:40:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=839609&title=checking-cervix#839609 <![CDATA[checking cervix : I *think* the cervix is high and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=838502&title=checking-cervix#838502 Author: fire_engine

I *think* the cervix is high and tucked away up and behind the uterus so would be pretty hard to get to.]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:40:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=838502&title=checking-cervix#838502 <![CDATA[checking cervix : chelle i think the angle would...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=838501&title=checking-cervix#838501 Author: Bizzy

chelle i think the angle would be all wrong for you to self check... best leave it alone though IMO]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:37:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=838501&title=checking-cervix#838501 <![CDATA[checking cervix : my last midwife told me not to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=838491&title=checking-cervix#838491 Author: Tastic

Thats not entirely true Tastic - I had a stretch & sweep 2 days before going into labour - My MW stretched me to 3cms and told me if I or DH felt curious we could feel babys head Not that I did (well bit hard to actually reach ) and DH was a little repulsed by the very thought lol!
I say go for it - granted you have clean hands of course

ETA - sorry didn't read your OP properly - I'm not sure what the cervix is supposed to feel like I'm afraid, like I said I never ventured down there. You could try googling? Either way, you're not too far off meeting your wee one - best of luck

umm you should'nt be checking it yourself
and most midwifes don't check untill you are in labour and even then some are hesitant to do it!]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:40:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=838457&title=checking-cervix#838457 <![CDATA[checking cervix : I thought since midwives can check...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=838450&title=checking-cervix#838450 Author: tiptoes

I thought since midwives can check to see if you're dilated or not that maybe I could DIY and see if anything was happening yet. When TTC I used to check if it was high/low or open/closed so I figured I at least know what I'm kinda looking for. But.... it's not there!!! My cervix seems to have disappeared. Anyone else tried self-checking and know what's going on?

I guess I have to leave it to the professionals, but weird that it's obviously so high I can't reach it ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:35:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29915&PID=838450&title=checking-cervix#838450
