 Re: X-post: internal exams- need BTDT mommies advice 
it's a little uncomfy because they really get in there to check your cervix.  no speculum though....I spotted after 2 internals so do not be alarmed
  good luck!!

It didn't make that much of an impression on me, so I guess it didn't really bother me.  It just felt like a lot of pressure cuz the Doctor has to really go in there to check your cervix. You'll be fine, it doesn't take very long.

I didn't enjoy it and that's why I chose not to have anymore until I was overdue. They really don't mean anything. You can be zero and go the next day or be 3 cm and stay preggo for weeks.

 Re: X-post: internal exams- need BTDT mommies advice 
For me, they were fine until the one week about three days before my due date my gyno asked me if I wanted her to "stir things up a bit".  So not really getting what she said I told her sure....holy crap!  She literally took her hand and stirred it all around. 
  And it worked...I went to the hospital the next morning and delivered!:

 Re: X-post: internal exams- need BTDT mommies advice 
I will be honest say it hurt like hell, but it was over in a matter of seconds.  My DH was there to hold my hand, and I know I was gripping him hard.  I did not spot after and was so disappointed to hear the doc said I was not dialted or effaced.
