I hope this is reassuring, but I read that the stop-start labour like yours can be a way of you getting further along and dilated before you actually 'go live' IYSWIM?You might find you get a shorter latent stage cos of all the work you're ptting in now IYSWIM?

Yes that is reassuring if your right I would love that lol, cos then at least i've managed most of it at home lol :rotfl:

I wish I knew how dialated/if I am at all I am if that makes sense lol

I've been trying that kristal and DH but we're clueless!

DH can get 4 fingers all the way in until he's up to his knuckles (I sound like a prize heffer don't I?) but he says he can't feel anything even resembling a squidgy doughnut at the end of it!

Did you do it?

What's it supposed to feel like :rotfl:

Krystaltips

<ahem> lol... Yeah, but I've always been able to feel my cervix... It's quite firm when not pregnant, softened up in pregnancy and I could tell it was opening during labour... Not so much like a donut... erm... More like erm... I dunno lol... like something just stuck on the side inside... about an inch long... with a hole at the end lol...

I have felt my cervix before cos i had to keep checking coil but when i was due i couldn't reach. I tried all kinds of positions :rotfl:

weezl74

how far in do you have to go with your hand?

Kristal you don't have to answer if you don't want to! A woman's ladygarden is her own private kingdom...

edit: stuck on the side?! What just on one side? Not attached all the way round?

Anatomy isn't my strong suit sorry

BeenieCat

You can run your finger around the outside of it usually, but as you're so far on i doubt you could. I would say it's a little like a donut in a way, like you said.

If DH can't reach with a full finger length it might be painful to go up any further. Try putting one leg up on the toilet/bath this should bring it a little lower so it's easier to reach

lol weezl :rotfl: maybe more like a mini donut! I cld never feel mine with huge pregnant belly in the way, but when TTC, u feel it daily to see when ur ovulating. It's all the way at the top of ur vajayjay, so not like u can "lose" it!
