Do you know where your Cervix is? Do you know how to find it?
Today I'm going to demonstrate how.

Hi everyone, I'm Maureen, co-founder of Mosie Baby, and I love to talk about all things
trying to conceive and one thing that I'm always encouraging people to do is to find their Cervix.
If you don't know your Cervix is inside your Vagina and it is pretty magical, it can do some
really fantastic things and can tell you some more information about your body,
very specific to your hormones and your cycle, like, when you're ovulating. So today, I'm just going to
demonstrate with my body how to find your Cervix but I'm going to do it in a very PG way.
So if you're at home, this is definitely okay to view and if you're at work, it is okay to view as well.
So here we go. The first thing you wanna do is wash your hands. So this is important,
just because you are working with your hands all day long and you want to be clean and
you're going inside your Vagina. So just take a moment here, respect your body, wash your hands
and then, the next thing you want to do is squat. When you're squatting, most of us know how to do
this, and it's pretty self explanatory, but there's a few key things I want to show you.
One, obviously, brace yourself, hold onto something, bed, a chair, whatever it may be to support
your body. Another thing is spread your legs about shoulder width apart. You don't want to
be too far apart, you don't need to be too close together. Pretty comfortable, balance yourself.
As well, you do not want to be flat footed because it is going to make it harder for you to find your
Cervix and locate it inside your Vagina. So what you want to do is make sure you're on
the balls of your feet, bracing yourself. And then, you're going to take your middle finger
and you're going to insert it into your Vagina. If you've never done this before, go for it. Might
feel a little strange, might feel a little weird, however I want to empower you to do this to get
to know your body. All too often we let other people inside our Vagina, we put other objects
inside our Vagina, and we ourselves are too timid and too afraid to get to know our own body. So,
I encourage you to do this for yourself and as well as you get more comfortable with it, and
you learn about your cycle, you'll have a great tool to help you identify when you're ovulating.
So take a moment, insert your finger, and feel around. Might feel a little strange, but the more
you do this, the more comfortable you get with it. In some ways it feels very similar to your tongue,
you've got your Vaginal walls, and then you're going to eventually locate your Cervix.
Some people have difficulty doing this because it may be too high or depending on where they
are in their cycle that day, they can't find it. So this last little tip I want to give you is
when your finger is inserted, to lean your body forward. So you kind of want to make your hips
come towards your finger. What that will do is that'll move, the back wall there
and get your finger closer to your Cervix because depending on where it is that day,
it may be pretty far back. It may be high. And there's a chance that you could bypass it and
not even know it because you're just not familiar yet with what it feels like. So, take a moment,
brace yourself, squat, lean forward, and get comfortable. This is something you'll want to do
a few times, and do regularly. And the more that you do it, the more familiar you're going to be
with your body, and your cycle. So I encourage you to try it, not just once, not just twice,
but in a regular daily routine, so that you understand your body.
