I want to learn how to check my cervix myself ..

I was reading an interesting article about that not too long ago and there were ladies talking about it on the glow app and baby center

@maybaby2016, what article was it do you remember

You can Google it. It's supposedly a lot like the chart you get in a tampon box where the picture shows a woman with her leg up on the tub or toilet and reach down with your hand. however many fingers fit is how many cm you are.

Interesting. Didn't know you could do it yourself.

It describes how to check visually too and describes how it feels.

Wow I never knew that I always though it was something completely different @michellevaldez4750

@andiryan93, yea you Jst have to know how to do it

I don't recommend it though as it can cause early labor and infection. Doctors are doctors for a reason, they're specifically trained for such things

I tracked my cervix when we were planning to have a baby and used that to tell when I was ovulating and such. Now it makes me nervous to check it because the last time I did about 3 wks ago I could feel her head. Haven't had sex since lol

@1prince1princess, nope just as simple as putting your fingers in and knowing what to feel for. I can't stand having fingers in me so I just can't do it but if you don't get freaked out like me lol its easy.

@alesia_, yeah you can feel the bag of water and the baby too a lot of times! I think that would scare the shit out of me too!!

@michellevaldez4750, @maybaby2016 I'd be terrified I'd cause a problem or something 😩

@maybaby2016, but Wats the difference they wash their hands and wear gloves I can do that too

@rockysmommy, I have heard you can tear your bag of water that way if not careful! I wouldn't be comfortable doing it either but I just can't stand things especially fingers inside of me :-\

@alesia_, lol Jst made me scared now

@rockysmommy, not to mention the risk of an infection, which wasn't even in the article I was reading but I'm sure it happens

I'd love to do it if it wasn't such a risk

@rockysmommy, @michellevaldez4750 im@mot understanding how is it a risk if u wash your hands good and or put on gloves and be careful the Drs do the same thing

@1prince1princess, yeah there's a safe way of doing it. I'm just scared...
