Please tell me that if I put my finger in the os I would have a great deal of pain and I would definitely know I had done something also please tell me that if I had stretched my cervix I would have a great deal of pain and also that stretching it would not cause a miscarriage.

So could you say with certainty that if I didn't have pain and I miscarried a week later that I definitely did not cause my miscarriage. If someone went through os would they miscarry? And how soon

The pain would be significant? You would feel immediate pain and would the pain last ? I don't remember any pain would the pain be really bad? Please answer soon so I can feel that there is no way I could have caused a miscarriage. The pain would be severe? Like on a scale of 1 to 10 one being very little pain what number would you give the pain? Severe? Something that would hurt for awhile? Please answer thanks. The pain would be terriable? How bad would the pain be

Yes,the pain would be significant and you will feel the pain immediately.The degree of pain will increase from touching the cervix to stretching the cervix.The degree of pain depends on the amount of force used by the person.
