A member asked:
How can i check if my cervix is open or closed? & how will it feel when it's open or closed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cervical position: Cervical position is almost completely unreliable. Unless you are actively in labor there is no reason to check your own cervix as it will not help you it give you any reliable information. Simply put you do not need to check your own cervix. It is not harmful to do so but not helpful
