It will be fine .

I had one 2 weeks ago for the first time in 6 years and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. In fact the worst thing was that ds2 (16 m) was screaming from the other side of the curtain because he couldn't see me.

ive told dh to go into work late so i dont have to take dd with me!!

im dreading it,i know it will be fine and i'll come out of there wondering why i was being so stupid!!its just the whole dropping your knickers and showing someone i know all my bits and pieces!!!(we live in a village and everyone knows everyone!!

Well done. Check how you get the results - I waited for weeks expecting a letter only to find the surgery had it for me to call in for and they only notify you direct of a problem.

i had my last one when ds2 was 10 weeks old he's now 2, and i didnt even feel it being done. Like you i was pooing my pants as my last one was really painful and i bled after, but had none of that this time. Was just a bit concerned when the nurse said to me, i can see you had a c section (OMG how can they tell)

buffythenappyslayer · 20/11/2006 13:42

OMG how could she see that?!!

i had a section with number 4 (ds) and normal with number 5 (dd)

but despite having 5 kids,and god knows how many strangers looking up my ninny,im still scared of going for a smear!!

the last one i had done i bled after and was really crampy aswell corrina,so i think thats maybe in the back of my mind aswell!!

i came out think WTF, but my sis in law who was a nurse said that they can easiely tell.

buffythenappyslayer · 22/11/2006 11:46

ive been!im not happy,but at least its over with for another 3 years!

the nurse was very nice,but also very rough.chatted away about her daughter who is in hosp expectin twins,and i dont think she realised how rough she was being!!

again,im now bleeding,and not just from my ninny!!i cut my finger on the door trying to make a quick gettaway!!i was v embarressed because she said "oooh,your cervix is well worn,but a lovely healthy colour!!"

so i made a mad dash to get out,and cut my finger open on the bolt on the door!!!

buffythenappyslayer thats awful, feel quite bad now the fact that i told you mine was fine. Is your cervix quite worn then?? LMAO

buffythenappyslayer · 22/11/2006 17:49

apparently so corrina!!!!!

ive had 5 kids so im hoping that thats the reason why!!and not from too much nookie!!!

ive stopped bleeding now,but i do feel abit crampy.

at least its over and done with now.

i asked how i get the results and she said that i'll get a letter in about 3 or 4 weeks time.
