article: You'll need to start your exam by getting an initial sense of how far you may be dilated. Instead of putting your entire hand into your vagina, which may cause discomfort, use your pointer and middle fingers to start checking your cervix. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before inserting your fingers into your vagina. Locate the entrance of your vagina with the tips of your fingers. The back of your hand should be facing your spine, and your palm should face upwards. Angle your fingers back towards your anus to most effectively feel your cervix. If you feel any pain or extreme discomfort, remove your fingers. A woman's cervix feels like a pair of puckered lips when pregnant. After you've inserted your fingers into and up your vaginal canal, keep pushing them until you reach what feels like the puckered lips. Be aware that some women have a high cervix and others have a low cervix. You may need to insert your fingers further up your vaginal canal or may reach it relatively quickly. The cervix is basically the "end" of your vaginal canal no matter its position in your body. Use a gentle touch to feel for your cervix. Pressing or poking it with your fingers can lead to bleeding. Recognize that one finger may easily slip into the middle of your cervix if it is dilating. What you may feel at the center of the opening is your bag of waters that covers the baby's head. You may find this has the sensation of a latex balloon filled with water. Once a woman is dilated 10 centimeters, she'll generally ready to deliver her baby. If one of your fingers entered the middle of the cervix easily, you can use additional fingers to figure out how far along your dilation is. Keep in mind the following: if you can slip one finger into the middle of your cervix, you're about one centimeter dilated. Likewise, if you can insert five finger widths into your cervix, you're about 5 centimeters dilated. As your labor progresses, your cervix will go from feeling tight to like an elastic band. At 5 centimeters, it may feel like and have the thickness of a rubbery circle jar ring used in canning. Continue to insert fingers gently into your vagina until you're using your entire hand or it causes discomfort. Remove your hand to see how many finger widths you used. This can give you a general idea of how far your cervix is dilated. If you're cervix is dilated more than 3 centimeters, it generally means you are in the active phase of labor. You should go to the delivery center you've chosen or prepare your home if you're having a home birth. Be aware that your contractions can also help indicate that you should go to the delivery center. They will be more regular and stronger. They should be about five minutes apart and last for 45-60 seconds.

article: Roll your shoulders back and forward to loosen them. Tilt your head from one side to the other to relax your neck. Take deep, calming breaths, and try to visualize something that makes you happy, like a memory of goofing off with your friends. Making sure your upper body is loose will avoid the stiff, robot-look of some fake smiles. Select a small and specific point in the area as your focal point. This will make sure that your gaze is steady and confident, instead of wandering vaguely in all directions. Your focal point should be about eye-level. At the photo-shoot, your photographer may request that you look directly into the camera, or somewhere in the distance. If you're supposed to look in the distance, it's especially important to have a specific focal point, so your eyes don't glaze over. Laughing loosens up your whole body, makes you happy, and will make your smize look way more genuine. Think of something silly or ask the photographer to tell a joke. If that doesn't work, force a fake laugh. Even fake laughing can loosen up your face and make you relaxed and smiley. A true, genuine smile doesn't stop at the mouth. It also causes your eyes to crinkle up. For a smize, you're trying to do a pretty tricky task--making a fake smile for a photoshoot look really genuine. Get the eye crinkle down by doing it again and again until you can crinkle your eyes with your mouth hardly moving. Try to squint mostly from the bottom of your eye, tightening the lower lid. Look into a mirror to help you practice. Go for some light eyeliner by your upper lashes. If your eyeliner makes too harsh a line, take some matte dark eyeshadow and brush it close to the lash line instead. If you want to step it up a little, curl your eyelashes and apply a bit of mascara. Avoid really dark or dramatic eyeshadow, because that can take the focus away from your cute smile crinkles and make your smize look more like a glare.

The way you handle your hair makes a big difference in its texture and appearance. When you're rough with your hair, it can frizz up and start looking dull. Hair is a fragile material that should be handled with care, just like a delicate piece of fabric. Here's what to keep in mind: When you shampoo your hair don't roughly scrub it. Massage the shampoo into your hair and distribute it with your fingers. Rinse your conditioner in the coldest water you can stand. The cold temperature seals the cuticle and helps your hair look shiny, while hot water will cause it to frizz up and look dull. Gently squeeze the water from your hair and pat it dry with a towel instead of twisting and wringing it out. Shampooing your hair every single day causes it to dry out and become brittle. The natural oil your scalp produces to nourish your hair gets rinsed away before it can do its job. If you want your hair to stay healthy and shiny, you only really need to wash it once or twice a week, depending on your hair type. When you first cut back on how often you wash your hair, you may notice it looking oilier than normal. Your scalp is producing oil on overdrive since it's used to everyday washings. After a week or two things will balance out and your hair will look cleaner, longer. On days in between washings, when you need to perk up your hair, try dry shampoo. It's a powder you sprinkle, or an aerosol you spray, on your hair to absorb the oil, and it works like a charm. The best way to keep your hair healthy is to let it dry naturally instead of using a hair dryer. The heat from the hair dryer damages the hair shaft, and if you do it every day you'll definitely see damage over time. Put that hair dryer away and let your hair dry the natural way. The same goes for other heat styling tools, like curling irons, straightening irons, and hot rollers. On days when you do want to use a hair dryer or other styling tools, apply a heat protectant serum to your hair so it doesn't get quite as damaged. Running a plastic-bristled brush through your hair, especially when it's wet, is almost guaranteed to cause some damage. Brushing tends to rip your hair, while combing removes the tangles without pulling it out. Use a wide-tooth comb and work out the tangles starting close to the tips and moving up to the roots. Dyeing, bleaching, chemically straightening, and chemically curling your hair all damage the shaft. For the healthiest possible hair, it's best to stop these treatments and let your hair take on its natural color and texture. Your hair might not be the exact color you want, but it will be healthy, shiny and silky. If you do want to dye your hair, look into henna, honey, or tea dyeing. These natural dyes actually restore shine to your hair, rather than damaging it. You won't be able to achieve a dramatic color change, but you can go a few shades lighter or darker. Waves, wefts, dreads, and other styles that require permanently pulling your hair into a tight position can cause damage and hair loss. While some types of weaves are less damaging than others (sewn weaves are usually better than glue-ins, for example) your hair will be healthier if you forego them altogether.
