    Vaginal Exams / Internal Exams - How Do You Feel About Them?

    Personally I don't mind them when given a good reason. But then I had complex pregnancies, and quick labours.

    I've lost count of how many I had with 4 pregnancies, induction due to pre eclampsia (1st baby), induction due to waters breaking and no contractions for more than 14hrs plus high BP (2nd), prem birth (3rd), threatened preterm labour multiple times, induction due baby heart rate deceleration multiple times (more than 8 times in a couple if hours) (4th)

    I can understand why other ladies don't like them though.
