Smear test

So I found it really painful but that’s because it turned out I had hypertonic pelvic floor (and this is partly what lead to that diagnosis!) If you’ve had no complications there shouldn’t be any issues with your smear.

I've had two smears after my csection. I had one 3 months pp and one a year after due to abnormal results which turned out fine. Both were painless like my smears before a csection x

Should be absolutely fine x

I had mine 4 months after having my son and I was so nervous but it was the least painful one I've ever had and also the only smear which hasn't made me bleed. I did tell the nurse I was really nervous and she was lovely about it and just chatted to me about my son through the whole thing 💕. My insides were also messed with during my c section so honestly I'd recommend just going for it and maybe mentioning how nervous you are x

I had mine 6 months after my c-section and it was fine! If anything it was better. I was far more relaxed, if I can get through a c-section then a smear is easy peasy 😂

I’m having a smear done on Tuesday, I’ll be 4 months post C-section

@Tara I’m in on Tuesday too! 🫠 I’ll be thinking of you whilst commando with the nurse! 🤣 xx

I had my smear 2 months after and all ok 👌🏼 same discomfort as normal when having one, but no pain xx

It could feel exactly what she was doing but it wasn’t painful.

I had a smear six weeks after a vaginal birth. It was fine - no more painful than normal. X

I had one 3 months after my first section and didn’t feel a thing 😊

I was dreading it but she went slow and honestly I barely felt anything

I had mine 12 weeks after my c section. It was the standard level of uncomfortable but not painful x

How is it done please ?

I had mine at 3 months pp. I never realised that I had a tilted pelvis which is why previous ones had been really uncomfortable. But this one I didn’t even know it had been done until the nurse said
