I'm Currently Feeling:  | I never had one and I dont think its protocall (sp) in the UK unless there is medical grounds.

I'm Currently Feeling:  | they wont want to, honestly. they might want to doa smear test - but this is a good thing. It's to check your health which is of vital importance right now obviously.
But that isnt so bad - surely you've had one before? It's not my ideal of fun, but it's over quickly.
Don't worry, it's all in your best interests and it's nothing the doc wont have seen a zillion times. try not to worry.
Good luck! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | i had an internal at 8 weeks ( i live in the uk) it was because i was taken to A and E with stomach cramps and they wanted to check everything was ok internally. I know its not a standard procedure. But I just wanted to say that its really not as bad as people think. It may be a little embarassing, but its for the health of your baby and if you have to have it done, just know your doing it for the best possible reasons. So don't worry.
Although now my fiancee keeps going on about how i've been touched up by a woman. ha ha. very mature of him. xx | | | | Status: Offline
