cervix check

Did getting your cervix checked really hurt for anyone else? I just had mine checked for the first time the other day and it was incredibly painful. I'm sure it probably didn't help that I was nervous, given almost no warning or explanation as to what what happening, and uncomfortable due to there not being a female doctor on call to do it for me. It was just an all around uncomfortable experience for me, but I was just wondering if it hurt anyone else. I was told that it shouldn't hurt.
