I think I just felt my cervix?

This is probably TMI but I was doing my nightly EPO inserting and bumped right up against something hard that wasn't there last night. Yowza. I am assuming that means my cervix has dropped? Kind of freaked me out. Maybe labor is closer than I thought.

  • Could also be your baby's head. I can feel my baby's head without having to insert my finger all the way (sorry, TMI). She's really really low.

  • I was thinking it might be her head. OMG. I know she is low but that is just crazy.

    Because the baby's head is still separated from anything else by the cervix and the amniotic sac. Unless your DH has a sledgehammer for man-parts, having baby's head get bonked or pushed past by it is not going to hurt it.

    Nope. In my case I actually have a posterior cervix, but the baby's head is already in my pelvis, though not engaged. I'm 39 weeks and 4 days, negative one station, 3cm dilated and 100% effaced according to my doctor. So when the doctor inserts a finger, they can feel the baby's head but have to kind of go behind the head to get to the cervix in order to measure it.

    I'll take your (and everybody else's) word for it ;)   Also, LOL at the sledgehammer.
