Coloscop/Pap smer

Not sure about coloscop but my midwife told me not to get a Pap smear while pregnant

Surely your doctor wouldn’t refer you for a procedure that wasn’t safe?

A smear is not safe during pregnancy. You have to wait til 3 months post birth for one. Can’t comment on the other procedure

I’ll be 25 just few days after due date midwife said I’ll prob receive letter before hand to book smear and to decline until after baby x

I was told I can’t have my smear due to being pregnant and I have to them every year due to abnormalities so if they’re happy making people wait with abnormalities till after birth, I can’t see why they’d let someone do a routine one whilst pregnant x

I had a colposcopy when I was 27 weeks pregnant with my daughter last year due to a cervical polyp and was advised perfectly safe, they just can't take a biopsy of tissue. A smear I was advised is a no as pregnancy would give false readings of it anyway, you're supposed to wait 12 weeks after birth for a smear so all the pregnancy tissue is gone to avoid false results.

No mine got cancelled due to me being pregnant

I went for a colposcopy at just before 12 weeks. It all went fine and the lady was just extra gentle. They of course can’t take a biopsy and complete a full smear. Mine used dye to look at my cervix and ran the smear brush lightly over my cervix to see if there was anything (that light, I didn’t feel a thing)

I was told it was completely safe for those procedures, but just not for full smear or biopsy xx
