black rose - I was expecting it to hurt like hell... I haven't had any internals with this pg but was in tears for the 3 internals I had at the end of my pg with DD, they hurt so much! I found it uncomfortable and it made me tense up a little but it didn't actually "hurt" at all which I was grateful for. I could feel her doing it but it was just uncomfortable. She said she could feel the baby's head, so weird to think that she touched his head!
