IUD insertion for first time

Stevi

Can anyone tell me what to expect when it is put in? I’m 6 months post partum and getting one put in tomorrow. I was told to take ibuprofen before I got there and to eat before hand. They said it may feel like contractions but I don’t know much else. How long does it take and is it really bad on the pain level?
