Tip for cervical check

I had to get checked today because I'm being induced on Thursday, and I was really terrified because everyone says it hurts. Guess what? It really did hurt a lot! That is, until the doctor had me put both fists under my butt to tilt my pelvis up. It made it around 20 times more comfortable. Thought I'd pass the tip on for anyone else who doesn't have the choice to be checked or not.
