Re: Internals..

I think it depends on the person and the dr.

Mine havent hurt. They are just a little uncomfy.

Definitely different for everyone. Mine hurt, but the pain was over as soon as they were done - no lingering pain. And at 38 weeks, they stripped my membranes which was really bad.

I won't lie, it was a bit painful- BUT, it was over fairly quickly and then the pain was instantly gone...nothing lingers :0)

No. The doctor sticks his or her fingers inside of you to check your cervix. I found the internals at the doctor's office much less painful than the ones at the hospital.

Re: Internals..

I just came home from my first one...at 35w 5d....

It was fine...doctor also did a strep test which was just sticking a q-tip in. It was over in a few seconds and didn't hurt at all.

Re: Internals..

Thanks girls. Went last night. Wasn't bad at all.

I was anxious all day. I'm such a baby though.

Thanks for the comments.

Until next week..Chat Icon
