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.

This brings my clueless self back to the, "If you felt the baby's head on accident, HOW THE *** IS SEX SAFE AT THIS POINT?!"
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.
wouldn't you have to be like basically super dilated in order to feel the head?
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.
