Self check cervix

You want to limit the number of checks as much as possible. The more checks you do, the more likely you are to introduce infection

I wouldn’t recommend. Agree with . Dilation is not an indicator of how near or far labor is. You can be 1cm and progress very quickly or you can be stuck at 3cm for weeks!
You body knows what it’s doing, & baby will come when he/she is ready:)

I’ve heard that limiting the checks is best. Save that for your doctor to do. The more casual checks that happen, especially at home by a loved one, can create discomfort for you or worse yet, an infection...
