Advice on sweep

Hey :)

Due to past sexual trauma I’m really struggling, although will do for baby, the idea of professionals inserting fingers for procedures.

Even idea of stretch and sweep makes me want to freak out but I sit there frozen.

Anyone got any advice or support I’d really appreciate it

You don't have to have a sweep. They will offer one at a certain point but you don't have to have it

Thank you :) but even if don’t have that they’ll be sticking fingers up to see how far dilated I am. I know it has to be done but nervous about it x
