Thanks sisters. This was the first time I did pap smear without any psychological preparation. So I was not feeling well both physically and psychologcial. I think the doctor did not explain to me about this and caused me so much worry.
I cannot approach my doctor by phone call and waiting for the next appointment. Still a bit worry, but thanks so much that you do comfort me a lot!
It's not uncommon to spot after a miscarriage. And if your pregnant, your cervix is softer than normal, so its quite common. Also not unusual to do a pap during pregnancy. I'm sure all is fine, and good luck to you!!
Hello,
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Yes, having a pap smear during pregnancy is very common and most doctors will order one if they're a new doctor for you and/or you haven't had a pap smear in a while.
Do you usually spot or bleed after a pap smear? I don't, so I would probably call my doctor and let her/him know.
Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy! Don't worry, having a pap smear during pregnancy is very common and perfectly safe. Also, bleeding after a pap is very common, due to the scraping of the cervix. I always have spotting afterwards. If you continue to bleed or can see you are losing more blood than minor spotting, you should contact your doctor immediately! Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy!
I think you should call your doctor ASAP, but some women, just have more sensitive uteran linings, and the bleeding means nothing.
Good Luck,
Lisa
