Where Is *Your* Cervix?

[Metasequoia]

When standing, mine is about 2" up & towards the back....where is yours?

[Pandora114]

at the top of my vagina where it's supposed to be..I dunno..I can't reach it

[grace's voice]

When non-pg it is about 3 inches up and to the left. When pg about 4-5 inches up and centered.

My uterus is tilted, so when I feel it most of the time the opening is flat against the back of my vaginal wall. Sometimes during O it will present more normally.

I have not felt it much since my dh got fixed-- no reason to. The coolest thing was when I was in labor I felt it and could feel the total change in the dilation and effacement and could even feel my baby's skull on the other side!

Never checked. I hope I have one!

[boscopup]

I know I have one (DS passed through it almost 2 years ago ), but I have no clue how to tell if what you're feeling is cervix or not!

After delivering 4 children vaginally - lower than she used to be DH could always hit it but now with much more force and I'm pretty sure his penis hasn't gotten longer

Sheesh, I can never tell what the heck it is I'm feeling up there--is it a fold of skin, cervix, or what? I suspect I can't reach it 'cause even with my longest finger I feel like I'm not hitting anything.

Yea, after 3 vaginal births for me, seems a bit lower, just wanted to hear where everyone else's was.

For the pp's who don't know what it feels like....kind of the same squishiness as the tip of your nose, uh, maybe someone else can describe it better.

For years I thought I had a big tumor in my vagina. I seriously thought I was going to die and that something was wrong with me, but I was too embarrassed to talk to a doctor about it. It wasn't until I got pg with dd that I realized it was my cervix!
Its a round lump that stands up out of the wall of the vagina and is more firm that the surrounding tissue... don't know if that helps!
If you don't know where yours is, its probably too far back to reach because its pretty hard to miss. If you try to feel it while squatting that can help.

Uh, that doesn't hurt?

Tapping is actually orgasmic for me but pounding - not so much. I have to position myself so that he's not hitting me too hard.

For the longest time, I had been unable to find mine (after I had my third child). I finally found it -- I had been searching directly vertically up from my vaginal opening, but then I found it, waay to the back and not very far "up" at all.

Is that bad?! Is that what "prolapse" means?

[stellimamo]

2-2 1/2" up and off to the right.

[G&B'sMama]

Mine is prolapsed and in a sitting position it is never more than 1-2" from the opening. After my period, it sometimes will actually stick out. I just take my finger and gently push it back in.

Ok, I tried to find mine this morning, and couldn't reach it, so I guess it's just way up high right now? That's normal for 15 weeks, right?

I'm pretty sure DH hits mine when DTD, and it seems to get worse during pregnancy (feels good when not pregnant, but does NOT feel good while pregnant).
