ouch:/ all the other times i thought my epidural didn't work boy was i wrong, went all natural with my 7 year old daughter i thought i was going to die i applaud women who go all natural with all their lil one's

@alexandrea777 I agree. The cervix check for dilation is uncomfortable and there's pressure, but the only time I remember pain was the cervix check when I was in labor with my first one because I didn't get an epidural.

@erinflaherty818, i agree there shouldn't be pain like that uncomfortable and can hurt but to where your in tears that sounds horrible :/. and they check to see if you've dilated when you get closer to your due date

i had a pelvic exam the day I miscarried. but, it wasn't called a cervix exam so idk.
that definitely hurt me! I'm imagining it was the same type of thing.

that hurt me so much ... I Hated cervix exams

I had one at 6 weeks when I had a "threatened miscarriage" and it was uncomfortable, but not painful and no where near bringing me to tears :) @tiffmama

Sometimes it is painful. I had to get it almost every week after 31 weeks because of pre term labor so they had to keep checking my cervix. It hurt so much to me. But it depends on who does it. This one doctor did it and she literally stuck her whole man hand up there. I was in tears. But I found a way for it not to hurt. If you ball up your fist and put it right under your butt bone so that your body is at a tilt it doesn't hurt.

I'm not too sure, she just said a cervix exam. I'll have to ask my ob next visit next month

I'm about to be 38 weeks and my next appointment I'll be 39, I haven't had any cervix exams at all. Could they be referring to a membrane sweep? I know that can be uncomfortable to some women

hopefully not!

Ummm I have had 3 kids and I don't recall any cervix exam being so painful I cried. Not even close.

really? I wonder if it's required? hmmm, that's pretty far along, but it makes sense that they would do it closest to delivery

OMG D: that sounds scary. I'm 36 weeks and they haven't checked my cervix yet at all, and I'm actually really nervous but they haven't mentioned anything about it to me :o
