Despite what anyone said to me about it mine was quite the contrary. It was so painful when they put the catheter in to my cervix, the diaper was a little uncomfortable but not unbearable but like I said during the insertion of the catheter I was almost in tears. I had quite a bit of bleeding afterwards. Everyone told me it would only be painful ifMy tubes were blocked but they were completely clear. I think it’s just different for everybody. However I didn’t really cramped for words so I was happy about that. Good luck!
