first of all congratsulations on the pg

2nd of all - he should have done a BT to confirm the pregnancy

3rd thing- i dont think the spotting would be due to the papsmear as i had one done at 6wks, it could quite possibly be implantation bleeding

Goodluck and hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months

Many many congratulations

thanks TK and Mizqtie.

No i read some books and it states that the cervix is highly vascularised whilst pg which can lead to spotting after an examination or pap smear. I had implantation bleeding @ 10dpo, this is totally different but thanks mizqtie. Dr said I would have some spotting, as he obviously noticed it after he did the examination, but it still made me nervous. but cramping has now died down so feeling a bit better.

Im not sure why he didnt do a bt, i think it was because he said i was low risk? whatever that means. But now i have to wait another 4 weeks for confirmation which is a bit of a pain.

I do not have any experience with pap smears in first trimester, so can't offer any info. I am glad that the cramps have settled down. With my first pregnancy, my GP gave me a referral for a blood test when I was about 5 weeks pregnant. However, with my subsequent pregnancies, I don't think I went near a GP until I was nearly in 2nd trimester.
I hope you are feeling OK now. Sorry I don't have any specific, useful advice!

thanks for the support ash.

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

WOOT!

thanks for your support. Yeh not sure why he didnt do one, might go to another gp clinic in wallan and see if they'll do it seeing this is this first time ive seen this gp as my other one left and have only been in kilmore for just over 1 year.??? Yeh i know i think hes just going off the fact that my mother had good pg, with only 1 m/c and 3x healthy deliveries? but that doesnt mean everything will be smooth sailing with me, especially as i dont have the same figure as my mum. she is just under 5" tall and weighs around 30ish KG. where as I am almost 5"9 and weigh 69kg, quite different if you look at it from that side. she is slim build where as i am more hippy and chesty?? so i dont know?
