I had an internal when I was pretty keen to know if anything was happening because I'd started having sporadic contractions and DP was potentially going to be out of town and I wanted to know whether I should get him to stay IN town.

TBH, it wouldn't have deflated me if there was nada going on but I was pleased to know that I wasn't imagining things.

Actually for someone who has always hated having paps done, I'm very blase now about internals because for me, I want to know.
