So I go next week for my 36 week app and my doctor is going to check my cervix, I really don't know what to expect cause this is my first baby but I just read that they stick their whole hand up there to check?? I'm terrified considering my doctor is a male with big hands! And my husband isn't able to be there. My husband and i have barely had sex because he's scared but we tried recently and that alone was hurting, how can I deal with a whole hand going up there?? Can anyone explain what exactly they do?
