Let me just say that my doctor my last pregnancy was really great but I do feel like sometimes he rushed or wasn't as gentle.

I will be 38+4 at my appointment next week and the doctor mentioned checking to see how dilated I am. Now whether or not he checks next week or closer to DD, I am SUPER nervous to the point of tears. My last pregnancy when my doctor checked, it hurt like absolute hell. I was crying and shaking. It was rough on me. I am DREADING getting checked. 😭 And my current doctor is so so nice. He is very sweet and I feel like he's a gentle guy. I am PRAYING that my cervix check will not be as traumatizing as last time...
