CIN3 and pregnant. So worried.

[AdelaideAdams]

Just wondering if anybody has any experience of this?

I was diagnosed with CIN3 when I was about nine weeks pregnant. Am now 19 weeks and getting more and more anxious about it. Absolutely terrified that it will progress to cancer before the baby comes. My consultant says he is absolutely positive that this will not be the case but I cannot stop worrying.

Already have a two year old DS and am driving myself crazy with thoughts of leaving him and the new baby motherless.

Has anybody else been through this? Did you get to the end of your pregnancy safely and have successful treatment? I'm also wondering if I will be able to have the baby early because of this so that I can commence treatment quicker? Would this be likely? Or is that selfish? Just so terrified of cancer. :(

Sorry no experience but didn't want to read and run!!
Hope all goes well xx

Thank you. I think I need to rein in my imagination. It's torturing me.

I had Cin3 whilst pregnant - unfortunately miscarried in Jan at 11 weeks but treatment was postponed to allow my cervix to get back to normal after mc, so got treated recently. Expressed concern to midwife about it coming back as my cervix is now shorter if I want to have another baby and she said changes are so slow even if it did come back I'd be fine to try again for 5 years. So your consultant is quite right, you are worrying unnecessarily. I'd be more worried about your anxiety to be honest - how are you feeling in general?

Not exactly the same but I had mild dyskariosid (CIN1 i believe) after dd1 and was scheduled another smear for 6 months later.
This was when we had planned ttc dc2 so I spoke to my GP and asked if we should delay ttc until all sorted and she categorically said no, carry on & it could be checked afterwards.
Fell pregnant very quickly so follow up delayed only slightly. It had progressed to CIN3 & severe dyskariosis. I had a coloposcopy & LLETZ treatment.
I was very worried it had changed so quickly and spoke at length to the doctor who did my treatment. She wasn't at all concerned at speed of change and reassured me that all CIN3 means is that those cells (if not treated) may, in many years time develop into cancer.
I hope this reassures you a little, I know how worrying it is when you have DCs. I've also had confirmation they removed all the cells.

I feel fine with regards to everything else. And I know I'm letting my emotions override logic but the niggling thoughts and churning stomach just won't go away. I have another colposcopy on the 2nd of September. Perhaps I will relax a little after that.

Thank you Jemima. You have reassured me as that goes along exactly with what my consultant has said.
