A member asked:

How long does it take for your cervix to go back to normal after giving birth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Return to "normal"?: The opening of the cervix(cervical os) that dilates during birth closes over 2 to 6 weeks. If this is a first birth, then the cervical size and shape does not ever quite return to the never pregnant configuration.

I quit my Birth control pill in June & have become hyper aware of my body while TTC. I found a small bump by the opening of my cervix. Is this normal? Could this have been from stopping pills? Or from scratching myself when checking my cervix? Help!
