bskilner im glad your dr prewarned you aboutt he spotting then before you found it, i have always been told papsmears arent harmful during the first trimester im a litte hesitant as to why drs do papsmears during pregnancy though as your hormones are going crazy majority of papsmears during pregnant come back abnormal (sorry dont want to scare you) its due to your crazy hormones but on the other hand mine come back normal so praying yours does the same

Im glad the cramping has eased for you as that can give you some comfort to know everything should be alright

RE BT - i have always had a BT done with all of my pregnancies ( i've had 3) and low risk i have no idea what he means by that as you are only early yet to realy tell if your going to be ow risk or not, i really hope everything goes well for you
