Smear test

I think I had mine 6 months after the birth. Usually after a certain age, maybe 25, don’t remember for sure , you should have it every 3 years. Speak with the gp and they will book you when is needed, depending on your age. If you want a vaginal test/checking you can ask for one as well your gp so you can get some peace of mind.
I had my first one just over a week ago. I always thought it was gonna hurt, but it's nothing. My membrane sweep was more uncomfortable than the smear.
I had my first one 3-4 months after giving birth and felt the exact same way as you beforehand! Honestly felt nothing and was over and done with within seconds! So worth it x
I had mine at my one month checkup appointment because I had turned 21 that month. It was super fast and easy. Just a cotton swab, I believe. They do open you up a bit with this extender thing. But it's super fast, just a little uncomfy. But very quick and not painful at all. They called me with the results the next morning, and everything was good.
I had mine done 4 months PP when I got my IUD put it. It’s that same as before a little uncomfortable but as mentioned above not as bad as my sweep.
I had mine yesterday. It was absolutely fine, just a little uncomfortable, but nothing to worry about. It's done within a few minutes! X
