Hayley, you would only need a pap smear if you were due for one, or missed one because you were pg at the time. I did have one done at my 6wk check with Erin because I was meant to have one in the July and she was due in October. It is hard when it is really hot in summer to know what to put on them over night. If it is really hot, I just put a short jumpsuit on them and cover with a cotton sheet. I haven't used the sleeping bags, but I am thinking of getting one - trouble is it can stay as hot as 35 degrees here some nights.
