Soo today I had a culture by my doctor, it felt like she stuck a toothpick up my vagina even tho it was a long cutip I scooted up sooi fast and far and screamed, not over exadurating, but it really hurt I felt like I was gonna start bleeding , now I peed 3 times since then and a little blood comes out this the first in my pregnacy, she says its normal. But im gonna need a epidural  but im scared up needels, has anyone had a culture? Is it like the baby comming out?  What shuld I do): I wasnt scared till today.

culture and pap smear is very similar, ive had one done at 36 weeks, its just to see if you have any infections .. and yes it is normal to spot a little ..
