Cervix Check

girlyjo

Yesterday's appointment went well. I'm at 39 weeks and had some consistent contractions Sunday. Dr. checked my cervix and said something about being forward and not trapped behind baby's head? What does this mean? I was so uncomfy during the check that I didn't think to ask.
No dilation or anything, but softer and forward - I'm assuming it means little toward labor but wondered what he meant. Thanks!
