Checking your own dilation?

Question

Has anyone here ever checked there own cervix for dilation? They say it can be done. But I ain't a clue what I'm feeling for. I cant make anything out in there atm. But from what I have read. And what I can feel. I think I'm deff dilated a good bit. They say the cervix is normally a hard nub. Which I have felt before. And when your dilated u can feel what feels like a latex ball. Filled with water. That's the sac. Well that to me deff feels like it's what I'm feeling. But I'm terrified to stick more than two fingers up. So I dont know exactly how much I'm dilated. But I do feel something latexy 🤣 lol..... and I'm deff feeling it with two fingers. And when my so is playing with me down there lately. Tmi. It makes a weird noise. And feels so weird. Is it likely im dilated? Not fully of course. But a good enough bit.

Answer

Please don't check your cervix yourself, you don't know what you're doing and you could hurt yourself or introduce infection, leave it to the medical professionals.

Answer

You would need gloves on to prevent infection but it’d be hard to get the correct angle anyway and you could easily get it wrong anyway

Answer

You said it yourself that you have no idea what you’re feeling for. Don’t do it. You should be having weekly visits at this point anyway so just be patient and let the professionals do it. Dilation doesn’t mean that much anyway... so you check yourself and find that you *think* your a couple cm dilated, still doesn’t mean anything without regular contractions.

Answer

You can check your cervix yourself. As long as your water hasn’t broken there is no risk of infection. Obviously wash your hands first. Or you could wear a sterile glove. But you won’t hurt yourself checking yourself.
