Is it wrong to opt out of a Pap smear at my appointment today? I just had one in may so it’s been less than a year and I have only ever slept with my husband. I have already had one prenatal apt and one ultrasound everything is healthy and my ovaries are good to go. I REALLY don’t want one. It makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it. Last time I got one I was pregnant, and right when he did it I started bleeding and I lost my baby. I didn’t stop bleeding for weeks & it was the worst experience of my life. I know it probably wasn’t from the Pap smear but it was very convincing timing. :( help please!
@missheatherbaby, much better all cramping is gone & no bleeding or spotting so far :) I’m sick so that’s not fun but besides that great!
@missheatherbaby, they were skipping the pap anyway, but still had to get cultures and now I’m very crampy so I’m very nervous 😩
I had had one in March so when I got pregnant in July I asked and the Dr said I didn't have to do another one. When I was pregnant with my first the pap caused me to bleed because the baby was a placenta previa. So with this one I skipped it and now this baby was a previa too. Glad I skipped it.
@beemommyof3 @missheatherbaby, thanks, I’m just nervous they’re gonna be mad at the doctors office. They never have been but I brought up not wanting one last apt and it was like they never heard of anyone opting out of something, the nurse was so confused.
Also if your going to associate it with losing a baby in the past then I think it’s better to wait until your further along to get a pap.
