You may be feeling your baby's head pushing down on your pubic bone. I don't think you can feel your cervix dilating; I didn't feel it. I was walking around at 2 and 3 cm dilated for two weeks before labor began and only knew it because my doctor checked me at my appointments. posted 04/30/2012 by schnauzymomma.
How Cervix Dilation is Measured. Dilation of the cervix is measured in centimeters. During labor, your cervix will stretch from 0cm to a fully dilated 10 cm. During a vaginal exam, cervix dilation is measured by how many finger widths fit into the opening of the cervix.If the tip of one finger fits, the cervix is 1 cm dilated. If 2 finger tips fit, that signifies 2 cm. like to think of cervix dilation like opening the door to the womb to allow baby to come out. Normally, your cervix is closed and hard, protecting your uterus from the outside environment. In order for your baby to pass through, your cervix must dilate and thin out completely.
