I'm really confused because I haven't had sex, but I can still insert two fingers into my vagina easily. Does this mean my hymen might be broken?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I had a cerclage done at 20 weeks, and now I'm thinking about heading back to my hometown. The doctor mentioned it might be okay to travel after 28 weeks, but I'm still feeling unsure. I'm considering a long car trip of about 45 hours sometime during my 28th to 32nd week. Do you think that's safe?

Traveling between 28-32 weeks is generally considered safe for most women, but since you have a cervical cerclage, its important to discuss this in detail with your healthcare provider. If your doctor gives you the go-ahead and you are feeling well, taking necessary precautions during travel (frequent breaks, hydration, proper seatbelt use) should be fine. Avoid traveling if you're experiencing complications, and always have a backup plan for medical assistance.

Is it possible to conceive naturally with a uterine prolapse without needing surgery? What are the potential risks or complications during pregnancy if I have this condition?

Mild uterine prolapse can allow natural conception, but pregnancy may carry risks. Gynecologic evaluation is important to assess severity and plan for safe management.
