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?

Labor is painful but being checked for
dilation shouldnt be its possible she
could have had an infection, I know its
scary to think about even when your having
your second you question things again.
Im due in 19 days and as much as im ready
im terrified about certain parts cause
although it my second it has been a whole
different pregnancy this time round.
Honestly dont worry too much if your in
alot of pain ask the dr to stop or to give
pain meds its possible though that because
of her going throu preterm labor she could
have been more sensitive. Im not a dr
but I would speak with your ob-gyn because
I was told that being checked shouldnt
hurt when I had elisa cause like you I
heard or saw stuff that just scared me
senseless only to find out it wasnt that
bad.
If you want to talk send me a message

Thank you for replying. I am just scared
to death now. I have not had a very good
pregnancy at all. I am sick all of the
time. The nausea is driving me nuts and
tonight I have the worst headache in the
world. It is 2:23 in the morning here and
I am still awake with the pain. If it is
still hanging around in the morning I am
going to call my doctor. Again thanks for
writing me back and good luck on your
pregnancy! =) tiffany
