I spent the rest of the afternoon watching DVDs with a hot water bottle and painkillers, then it was absolutely fine.
Got to get mine changed in 9 months :nervous: But if you get on with it, it's absolutely fantastic.
PS i uploaded some baby pics on FB for your viewing pleasure
I just had it put in five minutes ago, I am on day 6 of my cycle and I didn't take any painkillers or anesthetics. It wasn't painful at all, only a little uncomfortable. The worst part was when she was dilating the cervix which felt like a little bit of sharp pressure. After that it was just as if she was pressing around in there.
So far so good, just relax and I think it will be even easier than mine, I was pretty nervous and tense about It and the dr kept telling me to relax.
When i had my last one put in, 3 mths after anais was born, I bqrely felt it.
The other ti,es it did hurt though
