@twinscomingsoon, yeah I'm not sure why everyone says it's painful if they just use their finger... I hate the speculum too! that's so uncomfortable!

@dropdeadmeg, that doesn't sound too bad. Thank you. I think I can relax a little now lol I hope the don't use the speculum I hate that thing!

@twinscomingsoon, my dr just used her fingers to feel around. I thought they used a speculum like in a pap, which hurts more than this did. For me, this was ok, just gave me period type cramps after. I think I was more nervous than anything

I have to have cervix exams every two weeks. My first will be on the 29th. What does a cervix exam consist of? Is it painful? I'm a little nervous.

@dropdeadmeg, tomorrow! :) fingers crossed that I'm dilated now, last week i was only 50% effaced

@annabellemaesmommy, fingers crossed that is what helps progression! when do you go back to the dr (

Ive been crampy after both of my past cervix checks, the first time i wasnt progressed at all & the second time i had progressed, idk if it had anything to do with the check or not, just thought id share :p
