Oh dear,  that's scary now. Maybe some people find it painful and others don't. Just got to give it a try.  Hopefully it's not that painful.

Every pregnancy I have had my membranes swept two days before induction and I nearly jumped off the table. Definitely hurt me, but the pain went away immediately and just cramping after.

It's slightly uncomfortable but only really because a strange woman's got her hand in your foo but other then that mild discomfort no pain it's fine :)
