Scared of pelvic exams.

Okay..let me start this off by saying I’ve never had pelvic exams, Pap smears or anything related to that until I first got pregnant. I’m not declining them at all but how do you get I guess comfortable or less fearful of them? I’m fully aware here on out it’s gonna be all about my baby, cervix health and so forth. But I’m just nervous and I feel horrible because everytime I go I cry. My next appointment is next week and I’m scared. I know it sounds so ridiculous and I really don’t need people coming on this vent post telling me stuff i already know. I just want to know any tips for being more comfortable with it I suppose. Again please no hate, like I’ve said first time mom as well as first time going for these types of checks.
