I had my husband check mine..im too big to go all in lol..but yeah if ur baby has dropped u basically have to go in the down alittle and far back. It will feel like puckered lips or a donut hole n if u dilated ull be able to fit a finger or so in. Dont do it if ur water has broke because that can lead to bacteria..

I googled it and they said it feels like lips and how many fingers you can get in is how far you are mine is way back so it's kind of hard to get to but always wash your hands first lady's ! I also looked at a diagram online to get a better idea of what I was feeling for I'm still a little unsure hope this helps

I do it. I am really soft right now, but not dilated. I am 34w2d. I actually started checking my cervix daily when trying to conceive. I find it very impowering as a women to know how to do this.

What do you do? Just stick your finger all the way in?

You shouldn't be checking it yourself. You can introduce bacteria to that area which isn't good. You should allow your doctor or midwife to do that only.
