When I was pregnant with my daughter, I let my doctor feel my cervix, I did not want to do any damage to me or my unborn child. If you want to know the condition of your cervix, then have your doctor check you out, he can do it in a safe manner, and he or she will be able to answer your question and put your mind at ease.
Yes, it gets thicker during pregnancy - and it needs to be closed in order to protect the baby and keep the amniotic fluid in.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
