40weeks but they also stretched me from 1cm to 2cm at 38 weeks and sometimes when they stripe your membranes it can start contractions :)

How far along were you? @bellainmybelly

Just think of it as something that will help you go into labor! Because when they touch things up in there they also make things progress a little bit, on my last check I got a bloody show and by midnight was in full blown labor

lmao

it only takes a few seconds

I was going to say her hand really isn't going to fit up there right now lol @arivera64

Their hand doesn't go in, just their fingers. Also, getting checked isn't necessary and can be declined if you choose.

Yep!! It'll all be fine. Good luck. 💜

Not looking forward to this... But one day closer to having my daughter! @breloya

Pretty much put their hand up and use their fingers to tell how far you are dilated. If they can get one finger in your cervix, you're about a cm. That's how mine checked at least.

What exactly does she do? @breloya

It's more uncomfortable than painful, but it all depends on the woman as well. Afterwards, there was painful cramps and a little spotting for me though.
