Is the internal examination really that terrible?

Many pregnant mothers feel that internal examination is horrible, especially when they hear that internal examination will make people feel uncomfortable or even painful. In fact, the internal examination is far less horrible than the pregnant mother thought. Internal examination brings more embarrassment and tension to pregnant mothers. If you have the misfortune to meet a male doctor, this feeling will be even stronger.

Moreover, the internal examination is not the patent of the biological mother. No matter caesarean section, doctors will use internal examination when measuring pelvis and judging delivery mode in the third trimester. When a natural mother gives birth, the doctor will also measure the number of fingers opened by the cervix through internal examination to judge the progress of the mother's delivery.

If the pregnant mother intends to give birth naturally, then the internal examination is almost inevitable. Unless the pregnant mother's labor process starts very quickly, the doctor can give the pregnant mother an internal examination after her birth, but this situation is rare after all. Generally, pregnant mothers who give birth naturally will basically undergo 2-3 times or even 6-7 times of internal examination. If the pregnant mother's labor progress is slow, the number of doctors' internal examinations will increase accordingly, and some pregnant mothers have even experienced more than a dozen internal examinations after giving birth. ?

Therefore, internal examination is a hurdle that expectant mothers must pass. Since it is inevitable, it is best for expectant mothers to accept it psychologically. In fact, the internal examination process is quite fast, and there will be some discomfort and slight pain. But if the pregnant mother is too nervous, it will aggravate the fear and pain. Many pregnant mothers are nervous when they see the doctor coming, which is not conducive to the doctor's examination and will make the discomfort of internal examination more obvious. At the beginning, the internal examination will be a little uncomfortable, but then there is almost no feeling, because contractions have become one of the most obvious feelings at this time, and pregnant mothers will understand after giving birth. Compared with the pain of giving birth, the internal examination is really just a small case.
