I am 35 weeks pregnant soon to be 36..And my sister who was not due until the end of march had her baby on wednesday night. She is 17, and I wanted to be there for her. Which now I think was a huge mistake since I seen everything and am now very scared. I am 22 yrs old and this is also my first pregnancy. Anyhow everytime the doctor would come into check her to see if she had dialated anymore her rear end would literally come up off the bed and she would scream in pain...Is this normal? When they check you is it really that painful? I am naive to everything with pregnancy so I watch all of the baby shows for comfort and information and during labor on all of these shows the woman never seemed to be bothered a whole lot while being checked..So I was just curious..Please write back with any expierences to this. My sister was 10 weeks preterm..So do you think her labor was different than a normal pregnancy?
