    i had a feel last night , my cervix is still quite a way back but i can reach it, over the last few days it has become very squishy and has thinned a little.
    I can get 2 fingers in. If i had longer arms im sure i could fit more fingers in as there is plenty of room to move.
    Ah well i just keep on getting braxton hicks hopefully i'll go soon.

    Gabi, it's hard to say. I could have, but I could have moved around for a few reasons I'm guessing. Like movement of baby further down birth canal, movements in bowels, and also of course the approaching labour.

    I wouldn't worry about anything though. The fact that you have noticed some change over time is a great sign for you that things are beginning to get ready for labour.

    Good luck, it's amazing to feel the changes in your cervix, fingers crossed it all happens soon for you, I'm sure it will. You'll love the whole journey.
