Alright ladies gross question alert so if you are queasy skip past this post. Please give me honest answers and opinions i am very clueless about certain things. Okay so your cervix is that little opening sometimes really high where you cant feel it and sometimes lower that feels like the tip of your nose, correct??? Okay so if it is very lower to the point of only having to put my finger tip to my first knuckle inside of me before i can feel it, AND i can push my first finger through the opening, what does that mean? I have never been checked for dialation or anything at my doctor appt. and im going to be 39 weeks tomorrow. Is it a good thing that i can feel that? Does it mean im dialating and labor should be coming around my due date? Or am i just being weird and confusing everyone? Anything would be greatly appreciated and im sorry if that was a little too in-depth. thanks in advance!!!
You're dilated to a 1. but you really shouldn't be checking dilation yourself with risk of infection.
i just switched 3 weeks ago to a different hospital and im measuring small so they havent checked me yet
See your doctor to check dilation. OB's and those in the medical field do it best.
Each finger you can fit in the opening is a cm dilated bit showersoverflowers is right, I'd be very very careful, once dilated the risk of infection goes up also the risk of rupturing your bag of waters.
