How do they check for dilation?

Kristen • Mama to one boy born May 2019 - currently TTC baby #2, wish us luck 😍

Can someone explain the process of how a doctor checks your cervix? I have an appointment tomorrow morning to check to see if I’m dilated for the first time. I’ll be 39+1 tomorrow. Do they open your vag with a speculum and look? Because I’d rather not be fisted by my doctor tomorrow wrist deep in my vagina lol I feel very tight lately, even sex is painful
