I've had 3 internals so far and the first two were a breeze. But the doctors just used their fingers and felt around, slightly pressing down on my belly.

The only internal that hurt me was this past Monday, since I mentioned to the doctor that I had a watery discharge. To make sure it wasn't amniotic fluid, she used a speculum. THAT hurt. And I bled after and spotted all day yesterday.  But a regular internal didn't hurt.

It's not that bad and its quick so just take a deep breath and it will be over fast.  I had a lot of PT contractions with DD and had several checks for that--I would describe it as a the dr giving you a quick jab to the cervix.

It won't be anything you can't handle, I'm sure....the midwife did an internal on me this week when I went in for bleeding.  When she just used her fingers, it didn't hurt.  When she used the speculum, it was uncomfortable I'll admit that - but not anything I would be scared of if I had to do it again.  You'll be fine!!

I had 2 with different doctors. The first one was a breeze but the second one hurt a little and I had spotting afterwards. I think that second doctor (a male, first one was female) was too rough. Not going to that one again.

They're really not that bad. They're not comfortable, but not terrible either.
