What does your cervix feel like?

[wannabemomy37]

Hi ladies, just wondering how your cervix feels?
Is it normal to feel a high long and sore cervix??
Also my vaginal walls are very tight

Trying to figure out what's going on with my body.
Colostrum just SQUIRTED out of my left breast so who knows!!

Please don't check your cervix. I don't care how well you think you've washed your hands, bacteria still resides especially under your finger nails. You don't want to introduce bacteria and cause an infection. I checked my cervix toward the end of my pregnancy with my son (for dilation) and he was born with an infection. So unless you use gloves, don't risk it.

Thanks for your concern. I just know many women do check and wanted to compare. I am currently in my TWW and try to follow cervical positioning to know if/when I ovulated, etc.

Mine feels different at different times. Sometimes soft and closed tight, sometimes firmer and feels a little open. The only consistent difference in pregnancy I've noticed is that my cervix feels much larger.

It feels like the end of your nose! That's what they told us in medical school!

Thank you I'm trying to figure out if a "long" cervix is normal or if it could indicate pregnancy.

You can't tell too much about pregnancy from your cervix early on; changes do happen but the timing varies for everyone.
