Cervix checked?

Question

what exactly is it like? i’m 36 weeks and going today to get my cervix checked for the first time and i’m slightly nervous. i’ve had people tell me its extremely painful. is it similar to a pap test?

Answer

I’m honestly surprised to hear how many people say it’s super painful..  its not the most comfortable thing in the world but it’s not that bad! And my doctor has to reach FAR up there to feel mine.

Answer

I had one yesterday it was fine barely felt it, he put Vaseline on his hand put it up there moved it around, took it out repositioned it and did
It again it just felt like a little pressure and slightly uncomfortable but to me it was nothing 🤷‍♀️ I think every person has a different pain threshold and tolerance but it’s quickly over with

Answer

Is there a reason it’s getting checked? I said no to all the cervix checks because it doesn’t even tell you anything anyways.

Answer

Did you get it
Done?! How was it for
You

Answer

Don’t be nervous! They just put there figure up inside you to feel the back of your vagina or your cervix. Iv been getting it done every week for the past 6 weeks it’s no big deal. Good luck your almost there time is going to fly by now!

Answer

Eh its nothing compared to a pap smear its just like a pelvic exam it's uncomfortable but its nothing awful. And its pretty quick

Answer

I think it depends on the dr. I had to get checked twice in one day and the first time it was suuuuper painful (my cervix is high up and to the left) and the same dr tried again and I had to make her stop I was crying it like burned. But then another nurse came in and she was super gentle and used a ton of lube and was really easy on me and made the experience way better. Just tell them you’re super sensitive and for them to please take their time. I think it makes all the difference.

Answer

It freakin HURTS!!!

Answer

I just don’t have them check 😂 I don’t want to know if I’m not dilated or if I’m stuck at 3-4 cm. I’ve only been checked when in hard labor and that didn’t hurt at all because everything else hurt

Answer

It was horrible I had to have gas and air for it 🤷🏼‍♀️. I heard some people telling me it feels fine. Take it easy, if it's painful just say no because you're still early and don't really need it untill in labour👍
