Re: [ozmidwifery] Feeling your own cervix
I dont have the web site bit saved it onto my computer. It was from Gloria Lemay so may be on her website - AQHow to Check Your Own Cervix- "it's not rocket science" Self-Checking of Dilation and Descent"I think it's a good and empowering thing for a woman to check her own cervix for dilation. This is not rocket science, and you hardly need a medical degree or years of training to do it. Your vagina is a lot like your nose- other people may do harm if they put fingers or instruments up there but you have a greater sensitivity and will not do yourself any harm. "The best way to do it when hugely pregnant is to sit on the toilet with one foot on the floor and one up on the seat of the toilet. Put two fingers in and go back towards your bum. The cervix in a pregnant woman feels like your lips puckered up into a kiss. On a non-pregnant woman it feels like the end of your nose. When it is dilating, one finger slips into the mid dle of the cervix easily (just like you could slide your finger into your mouth easily if you are puckered up for a kiss). As the dilation progresses the inside of that hole becomes more like a taught elastic band and by 5 cms dilated (5 fingerwidths) it is a perfect rubbery circle like one of those Mason jar rings that you use for canning, and about that thick. "What's in the centre of that opening space is the membranes (bag of waters) that are covering the baby's head and feel like a latex balloon filled with water. If you push on them a bit you'll feel the baby's head like a hard ball (as in baseball). If the waters have released you'll feel the babe's head directly.On 13/04/2006, at 12:11 AM, Susan Cudlipp wrote:Sorry - I reposted it but put Jo instead of Sadie "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"Edmund Burke- Original Message -From: SadieTo: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.auSent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 9:48 PMSubject: [ozmidwifery] Feeling your own cervix Hi,Does anyone still have the link that was on Ozmidwifery recently about feeling for your own cervix?
