For me, it was NOT uncomfortable at all. And I didn't even know she had done it until after she pulled her hand out of me & then told me what she did. I was especially upset about it because she knew how I felt about letting things progress on their own. I was glad that her little technique didn't work anyway! (That baby was born 18 days late & I was perfectly content with that.) It's not that I wouldn't suggest someone else try if that's what they truly wanted but, for me, I won't even allow internal exams during the final month anymore.
