Answer 2

Years ago when I had one put in my GP did it in his surgery and it didn't hurt at all and I was fully awake. Hopefully you will have no problems and be fine.

Everything should be ok.  

Answer 3

Hey there hun,

You will feel some discomfort, but i can tell you that it isn't painful, and it won't make you want to scream or something!

It won't be painful afterwards either, you will just feel some slight discomfort. The vaginal wall is very flexible and soft, and doesn't have many pain receptors, so you will be fine.

Also, it's over and done with very quickly!

No worries :)

Congratulations on the new baby

Answer 4

I found it painful but that was because I hadn't had children and I should have taken some painkillers first so it should be easier for you - I'd just recommend taking something for pain such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if you are able to an hour before the insertion!  All the best.
