Yes they usually give you a pap smear on your first prenatal visit to check and make sure everything is okay.
Yeah , i had never had a Pap smear either & on my first prenatal visit they did one . It wasn't painful just uncomfortable . But they do it just to make sure everything is ok & their is no infection going on .
Yeah on my first visit i was hoping they wouldn't do one and they did. It was super uncomfortable for me, i personally hate it. I wish i didn't have to do that anymore.
Its really uncomfortable because u have to take all ur clothes off i got a physical and pap smear....he just checked my breast listen to my heart,and lungs...then did the pap smear and omg i was so embarrassed but i kno that its something that u need to do to make sure u dnt have anything and for the safety of the baby
I started getting them yearly at 16, you should have them regularly from the time you are sexually active. They are uncomfortable, but its necessary to make sure all is well down there.
Pap smears suck...but are SO important!
I hate paps. Especially while u pregnant they get to pushin on your stomach and stickin their hands in you. But yea they are much needed if ur sexually active.
My dr said they wouldnt give me one since i wasnt old enough im 19 she said i had to be over 21
Thsts a lie im 19 and got onr at age 18
I had one yesterday hunny I'd say think about a funny movie or a funny experience you've had cause I didn't and boy boy boy lol. It wasn't extremely painful but it'll catch you off guard.
my doctor never did one. he said since I'm not 21, he wasn't gonna do one.
Yeah, here in North Dakota you have to be 21.. Guess they just started doing that not too long ago... But you still have to get a pelvic exam the first appointment... Well the doctors here do it anyways... I seriously thought it was going to be waaaaay worse then it was... Don't worry too much about it, it'll be done with before you even know it... Good luck!
No i was 19 wen i Got my first one done of course i was pregnant they have to do it to see if u dnt have cervical cancer something like that
I was told by a doctor long time ago, when you start having sex go get one done. Well i didnt, im 23 and almost 23 weeks pregnant, got my first pap smear when i was around 12 weeks. It doesnt hurt just uncomfortable, i could leave my top clothes on and everything. My midwife performed it. Just stare at the ceiling and talk to your doctor, thats what kept my mind off of it.
Also im clean lol! Good luck
Thank you all!! I'm kinda nervous for it but I'll do anything especially for this baby :)
I never had to get a pap smear! (Thank God!)
They were going to at my first prenatal visit but my midwife just asked me a few question, ( if I was leaking fluid, smell, pain, ect...) I didn't have any of those so she didn't do one!
She told me just because you're pregnant don't mean u need a pap smear!
& I'm not 21 (which I think I'd the age u start to get pap smears) abd I don't have to start till then.
