Tomorrow I go for my first internal...can you tell me what I am in for?

I'm in my 36th week....what can they usually tell you?

Re: Tomorrow I go for my first internal...can you tell me what I am in for?

I went yesterday for my first internal. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would bit it was uncomfortable and I felt a little more pressure than usual.

I found out that I am 1 cm dilated which is a good thing that I am moving along however I could be there for the next 3weeks...We will see what happens

ALso he told me that there there is a chance of spotting so I shouldn't get hysterical if that happens.

Hope that helps

I was definately expecting it to be A LOT worse! I've had a few in the past couple of weeks and they really aren't too bad, and they aren't up there too long

Re: Tomorrow I go for my first internal...can you tell me what I am in for?

you can ask to delay it if you want. even if you are dialated there is no telling how fast you will progress. Some women are 1 cm for a month.

I started them at 38 weeks and the office visits weren't bad at all and quick. The ones in the hospital were much different (but that was since my labor wasn't progressing and they wanted to stir things up LOL )
