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!

I would just recomend self checks or self diagnosis is never a good thing.. We as humans tend to diagnose ourselfs with everything. Im so bad with this lol i google everything. So dont feel bad for doing this but also dont panic because of a self check. Hope everything is going good. Did you find out anything? And it is totally NOT creepy.. if touching your own vag is creepy id like to know what sex is......

I would love to hear from a women that hasn't put a finger up there at one time or another?! How is it "creepy" ?? Checking your cervix and masturbation(which i think most ladies have done, its not weird its natural) and so is checking your cervix, as long as doctor has given the green light and you were either educated or instructed on how to do so.  The two things really aren't all that different, so i would love for her to explain that response. It made me laugh!

And I don't think feeling up your vagina is Weird. Every girl does it or have done it. So it's not creepy. Don't feel like ur bein put down.

Just ignore the raunchy people, it seems to be the same people over and over being that way. Because they know it all...
