i had my 6 week check up and was due for a pap smear so the doctor did one there and then. i had 2nd degree internal tearing so was a little anxious, plus i have always found pap smears to be on the slightly painful side anyway. but it didnt hurt at all. maybe i have been loosened up a bit or something but it was good to have a pap smear that didnt hurt. i am still a littl worried about DTD and am gonna try to put that off for another month or so, much to my partners dismay!!
