Smear tests

[arixo]

Hi everyone, I have my smear test next week & i'm so anxious thinking about it. How do you all get through it? How do you relax? Thanks all

Just take deep breathes and keep breathing though it.
Normally chatting about the weather etc will also distract you and help you to relax.

Thank you

It's 10minutes that could potentially save your life. Deep breath and (wo)man up!

I know i just get nervous about it i need to relax! ( easier said than done )

Tell them you are nervous and ask them to go slowly. Just remember it is not going to hurt you and will feel a bit weird but is quick.
