What is done at 36th week appointment besides Strep B Culture?

[decogrl]

I have my 36th week appointment tomorrow and was just wondering what to expect.  Is the strep B and internal exam painful?  Just want to know what they do.

Hi!  I'm going for my 36 week appointment next Wednesday, and from my past two experiences I can tell you that you don't need to be worried a'tall.  The doc just does a quick swab for the strep B, and as nubesgirl already stated, the doc will probably also check to see if you're dilated.  The latter was always a little uncomfortable for me, but not painful.  As well, I always use these appointments to discuss any labor-related concerns/preferences I have.  

Let us know how it goes!
