Never had a pap?

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and 22 y/o. I've never had a pap smear. Like ever. And I see all these posts about getting them done while pregnant... Is it something I should be concerned about? I've never had a problem down there, clean of std's etc. My Dr has known about this and never brought it up.

Pap are to see if you could have cancer or precancerous cells. You should be having them every year after 21 y/o. If I were hou , I would request it. It doesn't hurt and it only last for a couple of minutes
