Hi everyone,
After my first daughter was born 5 years ago (yesterday was her birthday actually!), my cervix never went back up, it is still very low. My first appointment isn't until the 15th and I am wondering if it's safe to have sex. I'm afraid we will knock the baby right out of there!
To give you an idea, you can easily touch my cervix with your fingers, and my fianc? is pretty very well endowed.. Any advice?
Re: Low cervix and sex
It doesn't sound like your cervix is abnormally low to me - do you know what it was like before your first pregnancy? I think most people can easily reach their cervixes with their fingers. I can, and my doctor has never commented on it. People who chart use cervix position and texture as a secondary sign to help them pinpoint ovulation, and that's how you check - stick a finger in and feel.
Unless you've been told by a doctor to abstain, you should be fine. Baby is very well protected right now. But your cervix will be a little more sensitive while pregnant, so you might have some spotting afterwards (also fine, as long as it's not loads of blood or accompanied by cramping). If you're really concerned about it, just wait, or call and ask.
