My next appointment is coming and gynac said she will do an internal check this time. Im honestly nervous about it na, dont know what to expect. Does it hurt much? Tell me ur experience pls.
Actually yaar, it's more uncomfortable than painful. If you just take a deep breath and relax your muscles, it gets over in like two seconds. Don't stress, the doctors are very gentle and use gel so it slides easily.
Oh, I was literally crying with anxiety before my first internal exam because I read scary stories online! But honestly, it was nowhere near as bad as I imagined. It just felt like a quick pressure, so please don't overthink and stress yourself out like I did.
Listen, don't stress too much about it! It feels a bit weird and has a pinch of pressure, but it's totally bearable. Just focus on breathing out when they do it, and it will be over before you even know it.
I found that practicing deep prenatal breathing, which my yoga instructor taught me, really helped me relax during the exam. It is just thoda uncomfortable, not painful. Just ask your doctor to go slowly and make sure you are comfortable.
I've had it done multiple times across my two pregnancies. It is definitely not painful, just a weird feeling. The key is to not tense up your pelvic muscles because that's what causes the pinch. Just relax, it is standard procedure.
