Sorry, I know it's a bit personal! I am 31 and I have never had a smear test - had many invitations but never been. When I had my son, I found internal examinations excruitiating - not just a bit uncomfortable, I mean excrutiating even with gas and air. He was born by c-section eventually so I haven't given birth naturally.
After my experience during labour 4 years ago, I haven't had a smear due to being terrified of it being as painful.
However, I have made an appointment for next week and I am so worried. I can't take ibuprofen due to an allergy so can't take that before hand.
I'm honestly petrified of going
Can anyone reassure me?
