What an interesting thread.

As a woman who has always been "in touch" with my body (and an ex-biology student) it amazes me to discover that the cervix will change shape and position so much that I might not be able to find it. I had no idea this happens in pregnancy. It's good to know (I don't want to panic and think I've lost my cervix! )

This reminds me of years ago when I felt a little lump on my cervix and I went to a local GP who told me "no you won't have felt a lump on your cervix, you must be talking about your labia because the cervix is inside your vagina." At which point I went bright red and had to tell her that I was certain it was my cervix and just take my word for it . Stupid GP! Later she admitted I was right and she said "most women I see are elderly and they aren't very familiar with their bodies." God, it was embarrassing.
