Know where your cervix is located. The cervix is the lowermost part of the uterus, where it connects with the vaginal wall. It is located 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) inside the vagina, at the end of the vaginal tunnel. It is shaped like a small donut with a tiny hole in the center.
Structure: The cervix is the narrow neck of the uterus which opens into the vagina. Usually it has an opening about the width of a pencil to allow sperm through and period blood out. But during childbirth it dilates to allow the passage of the baby. Function: The cervix forms the first part of the birth canal.
