2 cm@ 20 weeks?

  2 cm@ 20 weeks? I am a second time mother but i did a self check (sanitized and was gentle) and my cervix was low, soft, and open. Surly more open than the beginning of pregnancy!! I am seeing my dr. in two days so obviously i will ask her to check. Has anyone had experience with this??

Idk Hun but im glad you're going to go get checked by the Dr. I was told never to do a self check by my doctor he said there is no point BC I wouldn't know what to look for and its not safe. And all it does is stress u out! I wish you a very healthy pregnancy and beautiful baby!

Idk, but I would defiantly tell ur doc and have him check you. And I wouldnt check yourself again. If u are u don't wanna do anything to make it worse.

You should never do a self check.. its not safe unless you know what you're doing. And if you're not a doctor there is really no way you could know if youre dilated... or if you're cervix is funneling. If I were you I wouldn't do a "self check" again.
