Cervix check

Elizabeth • Mommy to a baby boy 8/20 💙

So I have my 38 week appt on Wednesday, last time I was there my OB told me they won’t check for dilation until 39 weeks or unless I ask. I’m planning on asking this week, but I’m scared 😭 I know it’ll obviously be uncomfortable, but will it hurt? Is it like getting a pap? I haven’t had any action down there in forever & the thought is making me cringe 😩
