There may be elements of TMI. Applogies in advance. Also this may not be the best place for this, but as it's related to BF I figured I would get some sympathy here.
DS is 7 months old. I went to the doctors for a smear test again today. Saw the same nurse that messed up performed one 3 months ago and was there for a recall because of inconclusive results.
First question she asked was the date of my LMP. I told her I couldn't tell her, but it was well over a year ago. She looked at me very strangely and told me that this was absolutely not normal and I should make a GP appointment immediately. I told her I was unconcerned as I had a 7 month old baby. She had my notes in front of her, she knew this. She told me that I should have restarted "months ago" and that this was definitely cause for concern. I told her that I was still breastfeeding and was under the impression that it was normal not to have a period whilst still feeding.
She looked at me, snorted, and said "how unusual".
I'm probably a bit hormonal and overreacting, but I found her attitude and demeanour very disappointing and unsupportive of my decision to keep feeding my baby.
As an aside, the whole smear process was also conducted in a very unsympathetic manner. She stood by me while I undressed, didn't give me a sheet to cover my modesty, and didn't use any lubricant. I can't remember if this is normal or not. All my antenatal examinations were so much more dignified.
