Default Checking your own cervix

Anyone do it? I've done it before while TTC (I have a particularly easy-to-reach cervix), but things are a bit more awkward now, lol. I'd have my dh check, but he doesn't know what it feels like and has some seriously rough hands!

Just curious if anyone else was as curious

Thanks!

well, i tried, but I couldn't find it (nor could dh)...I know it is easy to find, because the OB did not have to go very far - it just must feel very different than when I am not pregnant (or not near labor).

Previously, it had felt like a bump w/a closed donut on it. There was good info on this thread:
The first vaginal exam... - Midwifery and More

I was only 1cm at my exam, which I may be for a long time, so I guess I'm not missing much
