Don't get it done ....Its very dangerous

It is a necessary procedure that needs to be done. Doctors want to make sure everything is functioning correctly. As far as it leading to a miscarriage, I for one have never heard of that happening before. If that was the case, doctors would find other means for procedures.

Pap smers shouldn't cause you to miscarry but if the try to do a biopsy tell them no!!! Really though its seams scary and unsafe but if you talk to the doctor about your concerns maybe it will help you understan better. I was really worried cause I have had cervix cancer and had a large protion of my cervix removed but nothing happened after the pap. Everyone is different though. But discuss it with you doctor and if your still worried express your concern and what risks are there if you don't have one....

I had mine done at my first doc appointment when I was 6 weeks and I never had any cramping or bleeding from it. It was over in a couple minutes and that was that. If it was dangerous and caused you to miscarry I really don't think the doctors would make you have one. Like the other poster said they'd find other ways.

They used to do them almost every visit when I was having my first children--20 years ago. Now, my daughter only seen her dr 2 times, 1 pap test first visit, and delivered by someone she never met. They do the see the nurse until 32 weeks here in indiana. Which is even worse than my daughter.

I always hated the pap checks when I was pregnant always made me feel so bad with cramping and sick to my stomach all day. I hated them, but I wish it wasnt so lax here now either. To one extreme to the other.

They also did a hpv biopsy of my daughters cervix while preg--after they told her they wasnt doing that--they said they were just doing a visual check. I was so pissed I wanted to kick someones a**. Dont mess with my kids or grandkids--im really strict about that.

Hi

I am 5 weeks preg now. i too very scary to do pap test. yesterday was my 1st visit.She was ready to pap. i told her, not to do since i already have bad exp with pap test.
I have done last April 2009 (I was not preg that time). But i got a blood flow from my vagina after the test. u know, i got the period after the test. So i have decided , i will not ready to do that.

There's an old saying that I believe to be true..Nobody ever miscarried a healthy pregnancy. If anything were to happen, it would more than likely have happened whether you had a pap or not.

I don't know about that old saying. I think you can definately do some harm to unborn babies. This is why we are careful about perscription drugs and not drinking while pregnant. We don't over excercise or let people punch us in the stomaches. It's common sense to protect your baby while it is growing.

I plan to tell my doctor not to give me a pap since I had one five months ago. It was normal and I have no risk factors for cervical cancer so there really is no reason to do another. You might point out that you are not interested in looking at cervical cell abnormailities until after your pregnancy is over any how. If I found out I had cervical cancer I wouldn't deal with that now anyway, so why test for it now?

What that saying means is that nobody ever miscarried a healthy pregnancy that is carried NORMALLY. Not someone being punched in the stomach, drinking heavily or taking drugs.. or in general, misusing their body. A pap test will not hurt a pregnancy. They don't go far up into the womb where the baby is. All they do is take a smear. Of COURSE you would hope that women want to protect their unborn babies, yet we have mothers who drink, smoke, do drugs, and takes risks. I have seen babies born normally to mothers who abused these things also. So you misunderstood the saying. If it's a good healthy pregnancy, there is little chance of harming the child unless you are deliberately doing extremely harmful things to your body.
