Can you touch your cervix?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Your body position should allow you to easily reach your cervix. That may be sitting on the toilet, putting one leg up on the edge of the bathtub, or squatting. Reach your finger inside of your vagina. Use the index or middle finger and slowly slide your finger in as far as you can reach, in sort of an upward motion.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and getting really excited to meet my baby. Ive been thinking a lot about whether it's a boy or a girl, and while Im happy either way, I'm curious about something I heard. Is it true that you can predict a babys gender based on their heart rate?

As a doctor, I can reassure you that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that a baby's heart rate can predict its gender. While some myths suggest a higher heart rate indicates a girl and a lower one a boy, it's just thatmyths. The heart rate varies for many reasons and isn't linked to gender. Just focus on enjoying your pregnancy, and your baby's health is what matters most!
