What's this.. I haven't got a vagina?!

[Bournefree]

Well ladies, this might be a bit too much information for some, but I'm going to tell you anyway! ;-)

So at my last MW appointment on wednesday I was 0/5ths Palp! This baby is so low down my fundal height has droped to 32cm and I'm 39 weeks today! I knew I had that bowling ball in the knickers feeling!


Then today.. I was thinking about this, and had a bath and thought, I'll just have a little feel.. Well, It offical, I don't have a vagina anymore!! It's just all head!.. and I can feel my cervix so close to the outside, I then decide to get a mirror...

Well I can see.. SEE my cervix!!! It's not dilated at all, but very soft and obv very forward! So birth isn't going to be just yet, but when this cervix starts to go, I don't think I'm going to have much time!!!?

Anyone else experienced this?!? It is the weirdest thing!

XxX

Sounds really bizarre and very promising xxx

 

[Bournefree]

Thanks everyone!

There's no chance of having sex to get this baby here and my goodness my pelvic floor must be shot.. DD pregnacy and birth must have limbered everything up!

I do hope I get my vagina back after? ;-)
...And that I get to use my pool.. I love my pool! OH thinks that we can start filling it with water once he has inflated one ring.. and get on with the other rings as it is filling!?

hahahaha - do you think I should be worried about sneezing?! I know I've still got to get my cervix open and that might take some time... or might have to gets some catch gloves out!!


I just can't believe how utterly strange and bizzare it all is!

XxX

 

[Beckcalifjd]

That is crazy! At least you know he's head down, lol. Sheesh better have the pool filled and ready to go. I bet you'll push once and he'll plop right out.

How wonderful for you. You know, when I went into labour, I couldn't even feel my cervix (I did try), it was so deep in and tilted backward. So I stayed at home for near on a full day, in labour, knowing that it'll take ages because of the position of my cervix. It never did 'drop', and in the end I had to have an emergency c section because my baby's head was deflexed and posterior, and ages and ages of labouring got me no closer to the birth.
So, yet again, I tell you that it sounds awesome, your body is geared and ready for action. I hope you have a fantastic birth and easy recovery!

 

[chele]

My goodness that sounds amazing, hopefully you'll just pop that baby out no problem!x

 

[Shmeh]

I still can't reach my cervix... that must be amazing to be able to see it! I'm sure everything will return to its rightful place after birth. Good luck with your delivery!

I have been the same for weeks - the mws don't have any trouble finding my cervix. Never had a go myself though. Might have a peak!

 

[Emmea12uk]

I have major concerns of prolapse after though - don't you?! It can't be normal to have your cervix so slow. I must admit though we still have sex though but my husband kinds had to push his way past my cervix. I think he prefers the lack of space but I doubt it is going to be like that afterwards!

Going to invest in an electronic pelvic floor thing. The forecepts must have ruined me!

 

[Kess]

Very cool, Bournefree. I'm so tempted to have a check of my cervix now! Anything I should know before I do?

 

[5-a-side]

That's cool. I hope the birth is very swift for you

 

[chuck]

bwahahaha Bourne trust you!
