You'll Be Fine... Don't Worry Posted: 08-21-05 23:45pm


Don't worry - it probably means you're in the "gray zone" and that some of the cells in your cervix are showing up as possibly pre-cancerous. What will happen is your doc will probably do a copolscopy (sp?), which feels a little like him/her looking at your cervix through a magnifying glass. He/she will see if any cells look problematic and, if some of them do, he/she will either just monitor it until you give birth (as cervical cancer takes forever to grow) or take off any troublesome spots with a loop (sp) or liquid nitrogen. It's totally fine... Tons of my friends have had this problem and it's never been a serious issue. Congratulations on your pregnancy & don't worry - you'll be fine!

A-typical Cells Posted: 09-01-05 19:28pm


Yes - these are called a-typical cells and they are considered possibly "pre-cancerous", but most of the time the disappear by themselves. Since you are pregnant, your doctor should perform another pap smear soon. Usually, after the initial internal exam, you won't get another one until much later in the pregnancy. But with these cells, they like to check every 3 months. It will probably not turn into anything, but it's good to keep your eye on it.
