That and the "You'll feel some pressure" lie.
Yeah, no. I know how pressure feels and it is not that!
I am female therefore many medical procedures that should absolutely use some kind of anesthesia, do not because "it'll be over in a pinch" "it's mild discomfort" etc. IUD insertion is a big fear of mine.
I just watched some highlights with my kid during the weekend. It looks insane! I could never.
