Cervical Exam

Omg ouch! Cervical exams are a special kind of hell. I am very tempted to refuse it next week. Too much pain for my liking.
Just found this gem:
"Position of the cervix: The cervix will move from being more posterior to anterior. Many women can tell when the cervix begins to move around because when a vaginal exam is performed it no longer feels like the cervix is located near her tonsils."
