Hey ladies...I have my 1st appointment where I'll be having an internal. Just wanted to know what I could expect. Anyone...please help...I am totally nervous.
Don't be nervous. They're not bad. Doc's going to stick his/her fingers up your looloo, they'll be able to feel how effaced and dilated you are. Some docs are more comfortable/uncomfortable than others, but it's nothing to stress over at all IMO.
Had 4 so far, last one only twinged a bit because she "stretched" me. Seriously more comfortable than your annual pap/pelvic! Spotting is common for some, I didn't at all.

Like the girls said... No biggie. It is just a little uncomfortable. My OB said it is okay to have some spotting after too but I haven't had any and I have had two.

It sorta feels like they are putting their whole arm up there. But no worries.
I've had 7 in two weeks. You will totally survive.
I have mine next week, and I'm not too worried about it.
I did have the GBS test last night and was totally bugging out about it. It turned out to be NOTHING. Definitely way less annoying than a pap!
