Do you want to find out if and how much you are dilated without a vaginal exam? In this video, Nathalie Kaufmann, Pregnancy and Birth Consultant, and Mathias Ritter, Science Expert, present various ways to find out how it feels like when you are dilated, how to tell if you are dilated and also how much you are dilated. First of all, they present the four most important cervix dilation symptoms, to help you understand how it looks and feels like when your cervix is dilating. Afterwards, they explain two methods in order to help you tell yourself if you are dilated. In fact, these two methods can even give you a rough idea about how much you are dilated. They are called “the Purple Line” and “the Fundus Theory”. While the first approach is based on scientific research (sources see below), the second approach is not scientific at all. However, it is used by many midwives and doulas to help a woman find out if she is dilating and also, how much she is dilated.
