Kass don't be afraid, just aware. You'll rarely find a DR who won't recommend getting a vax of any sort so i wouldn't take their word for it. Just empower yourself by conducting personal research. I am personally pro-vaccinations but have huge reservations about Gardisil both for the side effects and the premise behind it. But everyone should obviously make their own informed decision

thanks kass

so true mumma - just for people to be informed!

kass, i had CIN2 - for cervical cancer to fully develop it takes around 10 years (of course there can be much more sever cases, but this is the general timeframe) thats why they only say to have a pap every 2 years.

even if you get gardisil, you still need your pap every 2 years

I had my third & final needle this week the day before my HPT came back positive so i was just wondering if this might have done the baby any harm?? sorry so many thoughts running through my head atm

Trini, i wouldnt be too worried, just enjoy your pregnancy!

I havent read anything about any effects on bub, rest easy and take care!

just for the record... i asked our doctor today at Krystals appointment. she asked how old i was, i told her 23, and she said as long as i only have one 'partner' there is no rush, and i have plenty of time to wait till ive stopped feeding, and make sure i have my pap tests as normal etc

i couldnt ask anymore questions, as Krystal was out the door already!

just thought id let you guys know.
