2 cm@ 20 weeks?

[shyloveskai]

  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??

Sorry your question got so much attitude and rudeness. We're not all like that. Hope you found an answer comforting to you though. (:

Like I said, IF your DOCTOR says you can do something and you feel comfortable with that advice than I do not see why not. IF your DOCTOR DOESN'T recommend doing so, then don't. Everyone on this forum does have an opinion and many of them are incorrect; however, this is a community where we should feel safe to share concerns. A lot of the time I find people who are not OBs giving their opinion as though it were fact. I may not be an OB, but my father is and I ask him many of these questions only to find out a layman's person has given inappropriate advice. So again, before you go off on me or anyone else as a matter of fact, please get your facts straight. What might be 'common sense' to you may not be to someone else. For instance, someone asked has posted that twins can be passed down from the paternal side. For me that is obviously wrong, because I'm a graduate student in Genetics; however, for many others that would not be very obvious. This is supposed to be a safe place, a place to share. It is not a place to one individual to force their opinions on another. Nor is it a place to make someone feel small.

thanks, I started to feel sort of put down for asking.. I wasnt trying to be smart or weird so i apologize if it came off that way.. I was just curious if someone had experience with self checks. I know most people dont do them, and yes may cause bacteria to get up there whether you think your all sanitized or not. I probably wont do it again now. But if your in labor at home i was told you can check to see your progress.. I only checked out of curiousness

Some ppl can be quite bit.chy when they "know' they're right. Shyloveskai, ain't nothing wrong with wanting to know what's goin on with your body. Askin questions is what this forum is for. Ladies we should be tryin to help each other without bein judgy or getting an attitude
