I loved Ina May Gaskins approach to doing a VE. Put your fingers in and then rest gently on the cervix. Don't do.. just wait a moment so that the cervix doesn't clamp. (if you think about doing a rectal exam you know that the involuntary action it to clamp, if you wait a moment before trying to do anything else it helps the involuntary reflex). Then after waiting/meeting the cervix gently feel.
