Marissa β€’ 9-29-16πŸ‘‘πŸŽ€ Jalissa Marie

Please don't try and scare me I'm a first time mom so I'm new at this.

But my cervix is getting checked today first time what do I expect or shouldn't expect??

Remember don't want no horror stories

I'm 37+4 days. Thanks in advance!

Edited***

I got it done and boy am I cramping and I forgot to breathe my doc told me to breathe I'm purple lol. Well it hurt cuz I'm a fingertip but I think it was ok just dear God's it wasn't what I expected.

Hun it's a cake walk compared to delivering a baby vaginally. You've got this! Don't stress yourself out, it'll only make it more uncomfortable.

I was just gonna say I hope she's getting an epidural bc if she can't deal with getting her cervix checked she's in for a rude awakening come delivery time. Hahahahaha πŸ˜‚

It is not as bad as people make it seem. Basically the doctor sticks their entire hand up as far as they can.

It just really depends on who does them. With some doctors it doesn't hurt at all and others, well... no walk in the park.

I definitely think my first pregnancy check ups weren't nearly as painful as this time around.

It's hard, but you have to relax and just know it won't last forever! X

Wasn't too bad once I was more dialated and lower. First time I was still high and only a finger tip so it was a lot of pressure and uncomfortable

Not going to lie, they can hurt a little bit depending on how far dilated or thinned out you are but it's more of an uncomfortable feeling than anything lol. I did spot for a few days following my 37 week one but that was it. You'll be just fine, mama! πŸ’–

I'm FTM too and for me it was painful but I was also having contractions all day the day before so I was very sensitive and sore to begin with.

It doesn't so much hurt as it's just uncomfortable and a lot of pressure.. I'm sure it's less then more dilated you are but I'm not dilated at all so it's not my favorite thing lol
