Pelvic exams can be scary, sure. I was nervous my first time and I was 18. I know it sounds easier than it really is, but just try to relax. I have a friend who suffers from a condition where she has great difficulty relaxing her muscles down there, so let your doctor know that up front. I agree with the other women, DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE! Sometimes you get anxious and hold your breath and it makes it much worse. I'd rather have a pelvic exam over going to the dentist any day! I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis, and had more than a dozen pelvic exams in the span of three months while doctors were trying to figure out what was going on with me. Expect the instruments to be cold and you'll feel some quick pressure. Otherwise, I'm sure you'll do fine.
