Hi ladies,
About 3 months ago the result of my smear test came back with mild abnormalities, CIN1. I am currently just about to turn 7 weeks pregnant and my inital thoughts were of worry. I immediately went to see my GP when discovering I was pregnant at 5 weeks and he was completely laid back about it and told me I would be fine to continue with the pregnancy (I was worried I was going to have to make an awful decision as I already have a son to take care of) as this is not cancer, which I already knew, and that it would progress very slowly if at all. He has referred me to a consultant at the hospital for a second opinion and to make me feel more confident and I have an appointment at the end of July. I spoke to the hospital and in his notes he had said to get me in for an appointment within 4 weeks.
Now, the fact that he didn't feel the need to get me in immediately makes me think that he also feels there's nothing to worry about. Also, I have done a bit of research online (which is how I discovered this site) and everywhere I look, even on the cancer research website, it says not to worry and just ensure that I am checked 3 months after the birth.
My husband and I haven't told anyone that we're pregnant because of this but I can't wait until the end of the July; I'll be practically into my second trimester!! My mum knew we were going to try again and she's been pleading with me not to try until I've had my follow up, as any concerned mum would do, so I've been feeling awful knowing that I am already pregnant!
Anyway, I'm just trying to get a thread of a few responses from people who may have experienced this themselves or know someone who has been in a similar situation, to reaffirm my confidence that is growing and to show mum that I'll be ok. If anyone has negative stories I am willing to hear those too as I would be stupid to ignore these.
I am not naive to think that it'll all be fine, I am aware that it could progress and that I could require treatment after the birth but can someone confirm to me, if it is in the CIN stages, it can be easily treated?
Thanks for your time and I look forward to your responses.
