Thanks im a ftm so don't be knowing much lol
Yes you're supposed to get a pap during pregnancy. Just in case you do have any infections, they can try to help get rid of them before the baby is born. Due to certain risks
Haha well good luck girl. Hope everything is ok!
lol same thing happened to me wheni went to the hospital I hadn't showered that day or had shaved and than they surprised me when they went all up in my business I was so embarrassed I had just got off work so I felt musty so when I went to my Ob first visit I shaved and showered and she didn't even look at me ! But now I know they will do that tomorrow so now im going prepared unlike the first time at the hospital lol
Haha I know! My very first appt I had no idea what to expect. I hadn't even shaved and they were all up in there. So uncomfortable lol
Yeah you're right ugh one thing I hate about pregnancy doctors being all up in your vagina lol
Yea she is probably doing it bc of that.. Let them do what they need to do. They are there to help you. Like she said. They wouldn't do it if it harmed the baby.. I think you will be fine :) better to let them check than go without knowing and miss something big u know
Is it really me necessary? What if I tell her not to do it ?
Yea my Ob is doing it when I was 7 weeks I went to the hospital ad they told me I have a cyst wit a little bleeding on my ovary I believe and thyroid i don't know if that's why she's doing it, I'm just scare my baby being harmed by it
If it wasn't safe to perform the procedure during pregnancy they wouldn't do it. The extra blood flow to the cervix may cause a bit of spotting after the Pap, but it won't cause the cervix to dilate and therefore doesn't endanger the pregnancy in any way.
They did mine the very first visit. I was like 8 weeks pregnant then
Why are you getting a pap? Is your ob doig it? I don't see why it would hurt baby but They shouldn't do one until after baby is born. I'm supposed to get pap every 6mo due to HPV but I don't get one during pregnancy at all.
