Pap smear?

i got my first pap smear a couple weeks ago. im currently 16 weeks pregnant. so the doctor called me today and told me that my test came back abnormal. Cervical cancer possibility? im only 21 years old. can this just be abnormal because of my pregnancy? should i be worried?

You suppost to get a papsmear in every pregnancy! Thats a must of u havent had one in over a year they have to know your healthy,and is not always cervical cancer,papsmear test can show you oder abnormalities like infections ext.. But i hope and am pretty sure is just some abnormal cells ,they will make you another one before your 20w and if come out abnlrmal they will make you a biopsy after you haveyour baby,to make sure is no canserous cells,for now i think tgey will go with nlood tests

You should be getting another pap done to re check. Then you will prob have to wait for that. If abnormal again itll be like blood test maybe a biopsy after u have baby ultra shoulds ext till they find the problem. Good luck hun. Could just be cyst

A lot of women get them done when pregnant though usually in the first trimester. A lot of women also have abnormal results. Usually it's just some abnormal cells that are easily taken care of.

Talk to your doctor and find out what they think should happen next and then possibly talk to another doctor for a second opinion.

You're not supposed to get a Pap smear when pregnant? Did your doctor know you were pregnant when he did it? I had one booked and my doctor said to absolutely not have it done...
