Are u in your 3rd trimester and near EDD in few weeks time? If yes, its a fairly quick procedure, I found no pain, just a tiny bit discomfort. Gynae will take a swap from your vagina (just like doing a pap smear).. That’s to test for B-strep bacteria.. If found positive, during labour, you will be given antibiotics via IV drips. Nothing to worry about.. :)
