It may feel a little uncomfortable..But
yep that just stick their fingers in there
and see how it feels..The cervix is the
lower section (the 'neck') of the uterus,
which protrudes into the vagina and
dilates and effaces (widens and thins)
during labor to allow the passage of your
baby. The cervix is usually about 2cm
long and has a small opening at the end -
about the size of a pinhead - which will
dilate (widen) and efface (thin) during
labor. The cervix, while far back in the
vagina, can be reached during an internal
exam.
I am sure it will go well for you!

The farther along in pregnancy u are, the
more uncomfortable it gets. Cuz they
really got to dig around and go all the
way up to ur cervix and see if its
thinning and/or dilated so it gets a
little gruff... But its over with fast so
dont worry too much

Well I didn't get to go to the doctor
today cause my b/f had to work and no one
could cover for him and I couldn't find
anyone else to take me.

I think it feels very uncomfortable. Its
like a pap. They dig all inside to check
and feel the babies head, when I was
checked and stuff, I walked funny for a
while after lol. It hurts!

Yeah, it will be okay. Once you get to a
certain point, you get to go in every week
just to make sure the baby is okay!! Your
little one is going to be here pretty
soon!! Are you excited?
