A member asked:

Would my dilated cervix at 37 weeks pregnant feel like an oval with a rigid brim that i can fit equivalent of 3.5 fingers into? more of a crater than hole

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: I'm not sure what you are feeling, but it is not likely your cervix. In order to know what your cervical exam is, you should rely on your doctor to perform the exam.
