cervix behind head??

So yesterday I was in & out of hospital twice getting monitored & checked. I'm 38wks today & I'm 5cm dilated & 90% but my contractions are irregular. The nurses & dr said it was difficult to find my cervix because it was so far back & behind the baby's head, what does that mean??

I have had 8 kids and never experienced that as far as I know.  But don't worry.  If they don't seem concerned, I wouldn't worry about it.  You may want to Google it if you just want to know what it means but again, I wouldn't worry if the doctor doesn't seem worried.  

Sounds like you are almost there!  Good luck!!!
