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…

@blgetchell, 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

@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!

@blgetchell, how are you feeling today?

@missheatherbaby, they were skipping the pap anyway, but still had to get cultures and now I’m very crampy so I’m very nervous 😩

@missheatherbaby, thanks 😘

@blgetchell, girl let them be mad. That’s YOUR child.

@mct, thanks!!

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.

@worlds.okayest.mom and I agree with u. It's how I found out I had cervical cancer when I was pregnant w my second at the routine pap.

If u haven't had one while pregnant I would have one just so ur in the clear. But if ur that uncomofrrable don't do it.

Paps aren't just for STDs they detect cancer. It's your call.

@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.

No. You can opt out of whatever you want.

You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do
