My doctor briefly mentioned a 'pelvic assessment' at my last visit, but I didn't get a chance to ask much. I'm wondering what exactly this procedure involves during pregnancy.
Wait, is this the internal checkup they do near the end? I am in my 2nd trimester and already getting scared thinking about it. Does it hurt a lot? Please share your experiences girls.
It is basically just an internal exam where the doctor checks your pelvic bone size to see if a normal delivery is possible. Don't worry, it only takes a minute, just take deep breaths to stay relaxed.
I felt so nervous and exposed when my doctor mentioned pelvic assessment. But during the exam, I just closed my eyes and focused on my breathing, and it was over before I knew it. It's totally okay to feel anxious, but you can do it.
Please ask your gynac to explain this to you properly before they do it. It's a medical checkup done around the 36th or 37th week, and only a certified doctor should do it safely.
Listen, don't overthink this. It's just a simple physical check that gynacs do in the 9th month to see if baby can pass through easily. It is thoda uncomfortable but completely normal, so just relax.
Oh dear, I remember being so nervous about this during my pregnancy. But my doctor was so gentle and talked me through it. It’s just to check your body's readiness for bringing your sweet baby into the world.
My doc did this in my 38th week. It was a quick two-finger exam to check my pelvic shape. Honestly, it was just a tiny bit pinch-like but finished in like 10 seconds, so don't stress.
