Most doctors will meet with you before your first exam to chat and get to know you. They'll ask you if you have any concerns at that time.
Then, you'll get undressed and put on a white sheet and sit on the exam table. The doctor will have a nurse present the whole time. He or she will check your breasts, lymph nodes and abdomen for any abnormalities. Then they'll ask you to scoot yourself back on the table and put your feet in the stirrups. The doctor will tell you what he or she is doing during the pelvic exam. If you're not relaxed, it will probably be uncomfortable so try to relax. You'll feel a little pinch or pressure when they take the swab for the pap smear.
It's all over in less than 10 minutes, but it's worth it to know you're healthy.

Well you will get undressed and you will be covered by a sheet, if he's a good gyn he will only expose the area he's looking at and he should have a nurse present in the room. He will touch you under the armpits where your lymph glands are, he will probe your tummy and probably do a pap smear. I just lie there and look at the ceiling and think of jokes and breathe deep and evenly to relax all my muscles. Don't worry it's not the nicest thing to go to, but it's a way of life.
Good Luck.
