So, um, I get that I’m a disgrace to this prestigious community of infertile myrtles, but I have a confession: I never checked cervical position when I was trying to get pregnant prior to heading to Ye Olde Fertility Clinic. That’s right – back when we were still deluded that sex = pregnancy. Hah!
Anyway, I never checked cervical position, because (honestly) I never could make heads or tails of it. I can’t figure out what it’s supposed to be, what the difference is between them, and truthfully I wasn’t really all that eager to learn. Since I didn’t do any of that, I never really took the time to learn what it *should* be. You know, say, during pregnancy, for example.
The nurse at the L&D unit last night seemed really surprised that I apparently had a very low cervix. Um. But what does that mean?
ETA: Jess did explain it to me, and I’m gathering there’s nothing to be alarmed about (I wasn’t terribly alarmed – I was putting more stock in the negative fFN than in a nurse’s guesstimate on cervical competence)
