 First Internal Exam Tomorrow  
What should I expect?  I'm really nervous that it's going to be extremely painful!

Mine were no more uncomfortable for me than a regular gyn exam.

 Re: First Internal Exam Tomorrow  
I just had one when I was getting the BH contractions, just to be sure my cervix was ok.   It is NOT that bad. It feels more intense than a gyn exam and I was more crampy afterwards.  It was uncomfortable, but I was not in pain. The cramps go away after a half hour.  Hope this helps & Good Luck!

  Same here.  I was expecting much worse and actually said "That's it?"

 Re: First Internal Exam Tomorrow  
I get mine next visit too.  I had one or two in my first pregnancy and they were really uncomfortable, but over in a flash!  I felt like he was reaching for my tonsils.

  Me too, it's REALLY not that bad at all!  You'll be fine.

  They told me that they wanted to do one to see if my cervix was closed.  I was getting more than four BH contractions in an hour and they wanted to make sure I was not in pre-term labor.
