You can't "check your own cervix."
That's crazy!!!
Go to a gynecologist and have it checked properly.
Sheeesh!!!

Since this is posted under TTC, it sounds like you are wanting to check to see if you are fertile, as opposed to checking to see if you are dilating? SHOW means you are fertile. Your cervix is..... soft high open wet Soft..... Your cervix normally feels kind of firm, like the end of your nose. It will feel softer, more like your cheek, when you are fertile. High...... This is by comparison. If you are checking on a regular basis, the cervix will be higher up and more difficult to reach when you are fertile. Open..... The os is the opening in the cervix that leads to your womb. It will feel like a small circle in the middle of your cervix and you'll be able to feel the small hole. When it is closed, it will feel more like a little dent than like a hole. Wet..... You'll have lots of cervical mucous when you are fertile. The best kind is "egg white cervical mucous" which is stretchy, basically the consistency of egg whites. I've found that the best way to reach to check your cervix is usually either sitting on the toilet or standing up in the bathroom with one foot up on the side of the tub. Obviously, use clean hands and it's a good idea to trim your nails so you don't hurt yourself. You CAN also check your own cervix for dilation and effacement during pregnancy if you want, as long as your bag of waters is still intact.

Clear tube to test for under age 3 safety (or a quarter tube from a coin sorter) & a lighted make-up mirror. Enjoy! If you are pregnant, just feel for an opening in your cervix.
