I'm Currently Feeling:  | DIY Sweep- tried and tested
so i remember a week a go or so someone dusting off the cobwebs of an old thread 'DIY Sweep'
Well it's stuck in my head and the OH has just offered to give things a go! 
We tried, we weren't really sure what we were feeling for or doing but we gave it a go......!
I spose i just wait and see!

I'm Currently Feeling: | My hubbys checked my cervix today!!!!! I found some really good information about DIY cervix exams but its on another forum so I cant post the link. It was from midwives and other proponents of pregnancy/labour with as little intervention as possible eg internal examinations. If anyone wants to know I'll PM you the details - I think thats OK??
According to what I read mine is effaced but we couldnt tell if it was dilated.
My OH just can get in to  coz of the whole 'baby in the room' thing so I've said I want my cervix checking every day instead!!!
