Self dilation check?

[justwondering28]

Has anyone checked them selves to see if their dialated at all? How did you do it?

[justwondering28]

Thanks for your replies I'm still not sure if I will try it or not but it's good to know that I can haha

Yeah my regular pap smears are painful and so I have to go to my happy place during checks cuz I will bawl like a baby every time. It's amazing I survived natural deliveries :) its cuz of my tilted cervix. Painful *******

Lmbo you girls are so funny  think the reason why it hurts so much when the doctors do it is because they have to push into your cervix to see how thinned out it is and bcuz it's so far up especially if it's tilted mine is too and my doc actually made mecry once from it :/ and then scream and came really close to kicking him in his freaking face cuz he seriously pushed my son back up after he dropped down :/

[Ashdub07]

Lol that's funny

Haha i never though id do it. But when i went into labor with in 2 hours my contractions went from ten apart to 3 mins apart. I was like wtf :s so i checked and that was the holy **** lets go to the hospital.

Lol yuuuuck! I don't want to feel it. My cervix is tilted and even my doc has a hard time reaching it.

[Lindsmit]

Yes you can. Wash your hand very well. And for any one who says theres a risk of infection, i can gaurentee your man doesnt sanitize his penis before sex so really wash hand are much cleaner. Sit on toilet one leg up. Your cervix is going to be far back. If you can reach it ahould feel like puckered lips and the space in the middle is dialation i beleive 2 fingers is two centimeters. And if you can feel membranes dont pop them! Thats when it would become unsafe.

It hurts when the dr that knows how to do it! I couldnt imagine doing it myself! Ouch!

[justwondering28]

I would rather touch it than have some random doctor looking and touching it haha. But I havnt been game enough to try yet haha.

[Ashdub07]

Noooo I don't want to touch my cervix lol

[justwondering28]

Google says you can haha. Or can get partner to check but I'm to chicken to ask my husband lol. Google says to put a leg on the toilet and squat abit and you should be able to. But I don't know if it's true. I wanted to see if someone else had tried it first haha

[Ashdub07]

Can we reach far up enough in there anyways? I have never tried to feel my cervix before lol

[justwondering28]

I'm only 34+5 but have soo much pressure down there it hurts! And mucus and diahrrea. So I was curious to see if anything was happening is all. I see a doc in 1 1/2 weeks so I'll wait til then

I think theres a reason why only drs do it :S i would leave that task to ur dr.....if u really wanna know and be brave go to the hospital. Not the emergency but im sure if u go threw the hospital one of there dr will be able to check for u.

[noellenas]

I never knew that was something people did :'(

I hear it's not safe to do yourself.
