I was just reading on one of the post about how high and low your cervix should be. If you end up being pregnant, where should your cervix be located? High or low? Then, I don't know if this too much info to ask for, or if it's inappropriate, but how does one look for hers? If this is not a good question, then no one has to answer it.

Never fear when asking about CP & CM.... we'll try and help.

I don't know about the position of the cervix when PG. I do remember that you cannot tell if you are PG by the height of the cervix.

As for checking position. You will need to get into a comfotable position (I usually check in sitting position when in bathroom) Then insert a finger vaginally and reach back. Your cervix will feel different from the other tissues. Sometimes... when very high, it can be hard to reach.

I hope this helps! I think Connie may have a link to a web site that details it better than I can.

I think its sad that we don't know stuff like this about our bodies :(

And as someone very funnily said in chat one day, it should feel like a small penis head pointing back at you in your vagina. We then decided to NEVER tell our DH's this because they would never want to have sex again LOL.

Good for you on teaching your daughter about her own body. As I said, I find it sad that as a society we generally tell children not to touch their privates because they are dirty etc whatever :rolleyes: Thats like saying theres your nose, but you can't ever touch it. Like the poster the other day who's mom told her that cm in her panties (as a kid) was dirty cooter rot. How Horrible!!!! Also makes me wonder if sexual abuse would be less if children actually felt like they "owned" their genitals, you know?

I personally have a nice relationship with my cervix, have for years, check it about once a month in the shower just to make sure it feels right etc, I mean its my body, that would be like not looking in your throat every once in a while etc. Ok done with my rambling rant ;)
