6 Week Check up rant

[visitor1]

After DD1 the doctor took my word that everythign was fine. Pap was att he time up to date and not needed.

DD2 was born, i never bothered with a 6 week check up...

Now preg, im due for a pap and the hossy just said to get it done at 6 weeks check up....

Eek! Geez not at all what you want your very first pap smear experience to be is it?

I remember that being sprung on me at my 6 week check and I just looked at her and said "you have GOT to be kidding. I don't THINK so!! ".. She said "fair enough I'll see you in a few months"

Which reminds me I need to go again

That's not a nice thing to spring on someone! I had my last one done just before I fell pg so didn't need it doing then, but I'd have refused. Or at least screamed "what the blazes is that thing and where are you sticking it?" then offered some suggestions where if could be stuck, IYKWIM.

My GP didn't want to check the stitches, she asked if I felt OK or had any problems, then DS woke up so we went straight to admiring him rather than completing my check-up!
