thurs is my 1st internal....what can I expect???

I know its been asked before but I have other questions too....

should dh be in the rm still?
(he has no interest in peeking mind you! :) )

do I have to get naked Chat Icon ?
(if not, can I wear a skirt and "hike" it so ob can "get in there" ??)

whats it like?
(worse than an internal sono/pap smear,etc?? - I didn't think that was so bad...)

thanks ladies and sorry for a repost of sorts......

Don't worry, its not as bad as I was expecting.

My DH wasn't with me, but I'm sure he could have been.

They have you get naked from the waist down.

I didn't think it was worse than a pap smear or internal sono. It's a little uncomfortable, but not so bad.

good luck!!!

They give you a drapey thing to put over yourself. Don't worry, you won't be sitting there naked! Chat Icon

i really don't think they are that bad. maybe because my dr makes me feel very comfortable.

the good thing with internals are, you will know if you are progressing!!

Re: thurs is my 1st internal....what can I expect???

My first internal is Thursday as well. It's not too bad. I think it gets a little more uncomfortable the further along you are. I'm glad my Dr. said since I'm a 2nd time mom with a scheduled C-section that I don't have to come back until 37 weeks after 35 weeks and then I'll be going for weekly visits which will only consist of 1 weekly visit since the c-section is in week 39.
