Cervix Question... graphic...

Hey all..


today is the first time I "felt" my cervix since giving birth. I was VERY surprised at what I felt. Its no longer this round thing with a small hole in it. Its fatter, more oblong.. and feels like the "hole" is big and elongated. I'm calling the Dr on Monday just to make sure its ok and will request an exam. My CM is clear and creamy.

But.. have any of you noticed this after giving birth? He was born March 28.


TIA...

In women who have vaginally delivered a child, the cervix DOES take on a different shape/feel. Your opening will always be slightly more open than pre-delivery, and will be more oval than round. If you've got the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility," it has some pictures of the cervix in a woman who has not vaginally delivered a child, alongside the cervix of a woman who has. It sounds like your cervix change is perfectly normal.

Congratulations on your new child!

well, generally speaking, after having at least 1 vaginal birth, your cervix DOES change shape- it no longer has a hole, but a slit... (mine does, and this is what i've read about post-baby cervix) it's TOTALLY normal! don't stress, and i'm sure that's exactly what your ob will tell you!

hope this helps!!

RE told me after birth your cervix have a slight slit in it so it very normally.

Don't worry about it to much

could be you're ovulating at an odd time... could be leftover discharge from before AF that's just now showing up... not entirely sure, but i wouldnt worry about it- doesnt sound like anything harmful, :P
