Fun fact: when my mom was pregnant with my twin brother and I, she started dilating at 5 months. They went in and literally sewed her cervix shut. She was on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy, and when we were born, it had to be c-section because I was on bottom and breached. Because we were 8lbs (3.6kg) a piece, so there was no room for us to both get turned around. We were the largest babies born at University of Iowa that day, which is especially unusual considering we were twins (twins are usually smaller than average).

It’s called a cervical cerclage and is unfortunately more common than people think. Above poster’s mom is lucky they were able to do the stitch. Usually if the cervix dilates past a certain a stitch won’t hold it shut.

Edit: I’m not trying to imply that you don’t know what it is, I just wanted to leave some info in case anyone else was curious.

My grandma was dilated at about 4 or 5 months when she was pregnant with my dad in the 70s. The doc prescribed her 2 shots of I think tequila a day until he was born and she had to stay on bed rest 😬 definitely does not sound fun

Also a twin and also an 8lb and 9lb. Mom didn’t have to have her cervix sewn shut tho but definitely breached and c-section LOL.

I think the diagram is referring to hitting the posterior fornix, not the cervix, which can absolutely feel good for many people. At least that’s what the little arrow is pointing to.

Yeah, that's actually an alright place to be stimulated in my experience.

Increase articulation

Can this person sing Scat Man with their labia???

Also that diagram has made me even gayer than I was before. Kudos are in order.

I’ve hit my cervix with a dilator once. Felt really uncomfortable and weird, I bet if guys knew how it actually felt, they wouldn’t keep spreading this BS and convincing girls that they should enjoy having their cervix pounded.

Insert same old comment about how some women enjoy their cervix being touched.
