I would speak to your midwife. Have had examinations myself that left me sore. You didn't say y you had the swab? If they were testing for infection then the pain could be a sign there is one do please call ur midwife as the results could take days to come through.

Sorry u did say y you went in. But I'd still talk to midwife. :)
