just got back from my 36 week appointment still only a cm dilated and it was the worst cervix check…

Omg I'm so scared to start getting cervix checks 😞 Pap smears are like the most painful experience in the world for me so I know I'm gonna hate it

@emkasting, I'm not even going to lie it's awful... I don't want to freak you out but it's literally the most painful thing I've experienced about childbirpth and being pregnant... epidural is a peice of cake and contractions come and go so you get a short break between them... my dr. kept telling me to relax and I just kept yelling "I cant, I cant"... my dr. told me to tell my cervix to come back from China because it was so far back he couldn't reach it 😞😞😞

I'd much rather you be brutally honest than sugar coat it! I've been preparing myself for the worst anyways but yeah I'm totally scared haha!

@emkasting, yeah this is my third baby and it hasn't got any easier and I told my dr. I was going to cancel my next appt. bcuz I didn't want to get checked and I would just call him when the baby pokes his head out...I also told him to invent a new way to check dilation like a laser beam or something and then I would come back... it's over quick but I've been sore ever since and my stomach is achy

Omg hahaha a laser beam that would be great! I just know I'm gonna be the biggest wuss about it because I hate anything and everything having to do with checking down there. I'm so scared ahh

@emkasting, I wouldn't even be worried about being a wuss...it hurts! I gave my dr. so much crap about it and whined so much..he probably hates seeing my chart on my appt. days

Hahah oh yeah my midwife already hates me for that reason I'm sure, I was like flipping out during my Pap smear with her
