CHECKING YOUR OWN CERVIX FOR DILATION??
OK I WAS GOOGLING SOME STUFF TODAY AND FOUND OUT THATS ITS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE TO CHECK YOUR OWN CERVIX FOR DILATION.!
HAS ANYONE CLOSE TO THEIR TIME DONE THIS? IS IT SAFE?
AT MY LAST APPT AT TERM+3 I WAS TOLD I WAS 2 CM DILATED, AND AM BEING INDUCED ON MONDAY AT TERM+10 (AND HOPE IVE DILATED MORE BY THEN TOO) BUT I AM SO CURIOUS!!

i dont think its dangerous but probably wouldnt recommend doing too much. I remember people looking at me weird if i mentioned finding your own cervix ha ha.
good luck honey

not sure i would actually be brave enough to do this though, would be scared of hurting myself (plus i have really long nails so would prob just scratch myself up there). interesting to know though!
it did seem quite easy to feel around in there, like so easy im sure dh would be able to feel allsorts even by accident, which is a bit worrying when it comes to infections and stuff, but im sure its ok since waters havent broken (?)
