I was shocked how much the examination and induction pessary hurt

When the midwife started doing a sweep i actually held my breath and couldn't move it was so uncomfortable! I've never experienced anything like that before and was totally unprepared.

I've had cervical pap tests and examinations before and they were nothing like that... i really hope i don't need the second one but midwife said i was at 0 and it's highly likely 😔
