Can I share TMI here? I have a tilted cervix. And if they don’t find a nurse with long fingers, it is EXTREMELY painful to get checked to see how far I am dilated/effaced. When I was in the hospital, the nurses said I had a cranky uterus. Well, ya think? After how often you’ve checked me? I just dread it.
I think they go to some kind of medical assistant training school to learn how to put that knuckle in the most painful position possible while checking you. Ok, maybe I was just cranky because I was having hard contractions. LOL Really, the labor and delivery nurses are wonderful at the hospital I go to. I do appreciate each and every one of them that tried to help me get into active labor. Even with all of the checking.
