Papsmear during early pregnancy?

[Pretz]

I was just wondering... I'm due for my papsmear (last one was July 2009). Just received a reminder letter from my OB's office in the mail today...

Was just wondering whether they do a papsmear in early pregnancy or at any time during pregnancy if you didn't have a papsmear for 2 years and then fell pregnant before having your papsmear done??

Thanks in advance.

Hi pretz,

I was due when I fell pregnant with DD1 but was told that I could wait until my 6 week PostPartum check up.

i was 'due' when i was pregnant, and i told them that i would wait until after bub arrives.

I too was due during this pregnancy. I told them I will wait until the 6 week check up aswell.

I had one not knowing I was pregnant. All went fine.

I'm due now pretz but I'll wait till after bub is born, ooooh are you pg?

My gp wanted me to have one done a couple of weeks ago as I was overdue, but my ob advised her to wait until my 6 week check up. The 6 week check up seems to be the normal response from most people and gps etc...

I was due while pregnant but had it at the 6 week post partum check.

However, at 6 weeks post-partum there is also an increased false positive rate because there are changes that naturally occur during pregnancy that may be diagnosed as pre-cancerous changes even though they disappear again without any treatment. I won't be having mine til 6 months or more pp for this reason.

My ob/gyn said the same thing as Hot1. Personally, I won't be having any invasive procedures while pg. I don't think it's helpful to my body's natural environment.

Thanks everyone. I guess I will make an appointment to go for one before I TTC #2....just hate going for them, but guessing it's better to go for one before than during.....

I'm due now pretz but I'll wait till after bub is born, ooooh are you pg?

Raffy - LOL TBH I don't really know "if" I'm UTD.....I haven't had AF yet but not really sure when I should consider her "late" this month seeing as my cycle has been all screwy the last 2 times...... Will be testing on Monday if NO AF.....lol
