Thank you, It seems like your always there for me when I need it the most. Thank You soo much I've had everything scary happen to me so far in this first trimester. Tomm. I go get a scan to make sure my bean is still there. I can't wait to see him/her.

I've only ever had two pap smears (one a few years ago and one since the pregnancy), but that never happened to me. BUT! My mom warned me before my very first one that it happened to her every time and not to worry if it happened to me.

Why did they give you a smear when you're pregnant?

I was thinking the same thing. I was told that they would wait until after the pregnancy was over as I was due one this month (whoops!)

I get a feeling like I was about to come one everytime I have one though....never had one while beign PG though....and never actually came on.

Hope everything is ok at your scan hun. x

It's common practice in the US to do pap smears on pregnant ladies. I didn't know it wasn't in the UK.

this is my 4th baby and ive never had a smear while being pg same with you aimee i was due a smear this month and they have told me they will do it 6 weeks after baby is born.... Hope everything goes okay for you jrmorris x x x

I think its just because the metal thing goes so close to your cervix and it must aggravate it a bit. Every time I have had one, I've had the feeling I'm about to come on, but worse.
As far as I am aware, we don't have smears during pregnancy in Britain. I had to postpone one with my DD and now with wee duckie too. We are advised to have them done with our 6 week post natal check

I had one on friday in fact. The Dr. warned me that I would bleed and she was right!!! I also had cramping for a few days after. I didn't bleed a lot and it was BRIGHT red. It was probably just a busted blood vessel. Try not to worry, I'm sure your lil bean is fine.

Ya, I had a pap with my DD (not time to have one yet with this pregnancy) and I spotted a bit and cramped for a couple days. All was well tho.

 

[lesbianlove]

aww hun hope ur ok, im in uk and never had a smear est when pregnant but nor would i want to do they still use the speculum and stuff? oft id be well refusing

I had through the letter requesting I make an appointment the same day that I tested and found out that I was pregnant. So I haven't had one for about 3 years. The surgery told me to ignore the letter from the health trust, as they would resolve the issue with the trust for me. (I got a little emtional with them.)

Try not to worry too much hun, my friend who is 19 weeks now had a pap smear in her early pregnancy and she had a little cramping and some light bleeding!

I'm sure your little babber is just fine!

Just the way things are done in the States. They get yearly paps here. If your annual one falls around the start of your pregnancy, they will do it then. That's what happened with my DD. With this pregnancy my annual isn't due till half way thru so they are going to leave it until after the baby is born. Pretty run of the mill here.

Some women in the uk have it done aswell.
My midwife mentioned it as I've never ever had a smear done.

But I am so refusing as do not want the stress!

I bled after my papsmear also.... they told me it was normal. Same with sex, I bled pretty bad afterwards, but it stopped and all is fine. I wouldn't worry hun unless it doesn't stop. It should only be some spotting that would last a day at the very most.
