Yes, I agreed its super painful!! The GBS test is ok not painful. but checking for dilation is very painful and may bleed sometimes. Thats what happen to me... I already did 2 dilation check and will have to coninue to be check weekly until I dilate. But I think it also depends on gynae, I have friend that have gynae that is very gentle so they don't feel pain.

Hi jojoki,
Yes its painful... maybe you are luckier your gynae is gentle. My gynae not as gentle and when he check for dilation he put the finger really deep can u imagine it can be so deep and rough to make you bleed on the spot. Doing GBS test is just a long cotton stick to be lightly swap, similar to pap smear.So its just a little incomfy but not painful.

Checking for dilation isn't painful, just a bit uncomfortable. BUT, my gynae stretched my cervix to get it to open up more! THAT was painful!!!

mine was not painful at all. guess i got a gentle gynae.
it was in the delivery room when he say he gonna stretch my cervix n might be painful, then that was painful (but bearable).

Stretch the cervix??? Was that done only during hospital checks or clinic checks? I'm talking about VE examination in clinics happening @wk 37 normally... As for Hospital checks, I'm going straight for Epidural!!! I guess painless for whatever they do after epidural :)

haha yes my gynae is SUPER SUPER gentle like chaboh!! haha very soft spoken guy.. throughout my whole pregnancy n delivery i've never felt any pain at all... but u knw my gynae never check for dilation until the day i admit to be induced... at 38 weeks. n he check dilation is not put finger wor he put both his whole hands inside... or one i cant remember.... but he made sure there was lots of lubricant... the midwife squirted the lubricant n he say more more.... the midwife say no more.. then he say go get sumore...

but my pap smear was more uncomfortable.. done in msia.. lady gynae... she insterted this metal thingy inside that hold the vagina apart then scrape scrape...

for me is painful & uncomfortable... still remember doctor keep asking me to relax and open leg wider because i get very tense when he do the checking...

but if you can make urself relax is good because doctor easier to check and will be faster... for me i too tense up.. doctor cant check properly so got to recheck.. so more pain lol.

Looks like depends oh the size of fingers + Hands of nurse/doctor doing the check for you. Gosh....... I have a 1.8m (maybe taller) Gynea!! I guess his hands and fingers are not small either!!!!
