That's exactly what it is. I definitely find it uncomfortable but bearable. Sometimes it feels like she's digging for gold up there but its over pretty quick!

Just a little uncomfortable, but not bad at all. It is over so quick. I feel like it hurt a bit more during my first pregnancy. Not sure why. It still wasn't that bad though.

depends on the Dr. My dr is gentle but the Dr that did one when I was in the hospital was not and it was painful

Re: what exactly is an internal?
Yes, it's just a very quick thing.
I think for me what hurts afterwards is my cervix. It sounds totally weird but you can almost feel it hurting on the inside there. I think it's because they press around on it to see if it is thinning, dialating, and as it is there is already a 7lb baby's head resting on it from the other side...so it just makes it uncomfortable.
But it's not as bad as we sometimes make it out to be.

Definitely uncomfortable but not painful (at least for me).
