I've never heard of that either. Unless you fall at needing it now I'm not sure what that's about
Mine was due while I was pregnant and couldn’t have it and was told I had to wait 3 months pp to get it maybe they meant that
Mine fell due a month after having baby and my GP said it’s safe to have it from 3 months postpartum so I should book it in. Were you due one?
Same as above. Mine was due whilst pregnant and they said to wait at least 3 months after the birth
As others are saying you only have to wait until 3 months postpartum if you were due one while you were pregnant. If your routine one isn’t until next year then no need to have an extra one.
Thanks all! I feel reassured. The midwives didn't specify. Just said I had to have it. I am not due one so all good I guess 🙏
I've never heard of having one 3 months pp. Maybe contact your midwife team to clarify and if it is the case, ask them to contact your gp. I know that if you've missed a smear due to be pregnant, they advise to wait until 12 weeks pp so that may be what they meant but have misphrased it
