I’ve had 3 so far. Everyone is different but mine weren’t that bad! Just a bit uncomfortable. Only takes 2-3 seconds. Take a deep breath in and you’ll be fine. 💕 You might spot and cramp a little afterwards. Nothing crazy though.

@Jackie that is so relieving to hear!! lol thank yu sm! I’m leaning more so on having it done I think. I’ve been so nervous about it! 😂😅

i tried mine today it was so bad i couldn’t even have her get past my vaginal opening i was about to cry it hurt so bad i told her to stop kinda sad i felt like i couldn’t get through it though, but you wont know till you try!

Mine wasn’t bad at all! A little uncomfortable but not bad 🤗

Uncomfortable but not painful 🙂‍↕️ had a membrane strip and it still wasn't painful but left me kind of sore and it was more uncomfortable than a check

@Niyah mine hurt bad as well. But I was also fighting her a bit even though I tried to relax

I've had a lot this pregnancy because I'm high risk for preterm labor. I've never found them anything but a little uncomfortable. You can always ask them to stop if it's painful.

For me they hurt / uncomfortable.. you can decline cervix checks aren’t necessary really early on

I had mine at 36 weeks because I was having extreme pain down there and pain around my pubic bone, it was nothing to me 1,2,3 done.

It depends on who does it and how big or small their hands is. Also depends on how your cervix sat, I got checked 2x Wednesday by a new student in the office, her hands didn’t hurt but when my doctor checked me it hurt little because he got to reach far to the back for my cervix but I am 1cm and 37wks and 2days. But it was mainly uncomfortable.

@Niyah oh nooo ☹️ don’t b sad! If it was too much it was probably best to voice it!

😮‍💨💕💕 thank yall so much for the reassurance & advice!!

@Sibbi i feel like it varies soo much. Mine was very painful with my 1st pregnancy and debating wether to do it with this pregnancy....its kind of like the glucose test. Some.people say its awful, then others are like super easy

It’s not bad you’ll just feel a lot of pressure
