sorry ... i don't quite remember it now!
i think it's ok for getting the culture for GBS. however, my ob. also tried to check for the cervix opening and it hurt for a day or two for me even when i walked. it might depends on the ob. she also warned that it's ok if i see a little blood afterwards. i had no bleeding although it hurt.
u can always ask your ob. about the upcoming tests. and don't worry too much!
