What to expect..

Kelcie • I`m Kelcie! 20 year old mommy to an 8 month old girl.
So I'm 38 weeks and today I have a doctors appointment, will they check to see if I'm dilated? How exactly do they check for dilation and does it hurt? I'm such a wimp when it comes to going to the doctor, so I just want to prepare myself so I'm not so nervous.
