Is it normal for Doctor to do a pap when you go for your first appointment if you've never had one?

Yes

yes

Ughhhhh. Does it hurt?

if you're 21 or older yes

yes mine did and it didn't hurt was just uncomfortable for me @tiffr5

I'm 20! @mariceladez

I'm more nervous for the pap than anything....

let them know. I'm 20 also. they won't do it. you have to be 21 for some reason. I heard it isn't pleasant so I'm glad to be 20! lol

yup, especially if it's been a while since your last one...mine didn't hurt just a bit uncomfortable but it's quick

Yes, my ob did one. - it was awkward for my boyfriend cause he had full view of my lady parts. 😂

Maybe they won't do it since I'm 20 then. I hope not! Lol! @mariceladez

Yes

Hahaha oh my gosh! I can't imagine what my husband would do 😂 he would be so awkward! @big abby

Make sure you tell them you're 20! If they overlook your chart they'll probably just assume and do it. When I went the doc said he'd do a pap smear but asked my age and when I told him I was 20 he said oh never mind. I was like yay! lol

@bgabby sorry! Autocorrect lol

I'm 20 they did mine, no all places make you be 21

What! U have to be a certain age to have a pap? Ive never even heard of that. The things you learn from Preggie each day. I think I had my first when I was 16, probably cause I was pregnant, but I always thought it was a requirement of pregnancy.

I've been getting paps since I was 18 I guess it's different every where they do it every year or two I think

@tiffr5, I was 18 pregnant with my first and I got a pap. It doesn't hurt and it's honestly best to have one. It will show if anything is abnormal. For example I have high grade precancerous cells on my cervix. Wouldnt have found out if I hadn't gotten a pap

@tiffr5, you are supposed to get them if you are sexually active

Here is a run down from what to expect

Thank you guys for all your help!

@tiffr5, he was awkward. He was like wow what a view. 😂

Just so you know I did research and it is 21..... If you aren't pregnant. It is normally a requirement if you are pregnant because if you do have a sexually transmitted disease (not saying you do or you could or assuming anything) it can cause harm to your baby if never detected

They did a pap today guys! I totally overreacted about the whole thing lol. It felt like nothing really... Just uncomfortable.
