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.
The cervix dilates. Dilation of the cervix is a sign that labor is approaching, although this is detected by the health-care professional during a pelvic examination. This begins in the days and even weeks prior to the onset of labor; Fully dilated means the cervix has dilated to a width of 10 cm.
