Ok, so I've posted in the past that paps are ok and normal and whatnot - today I had one of the worst days of my life from a pap. I'm about 10 weeks pregnant and i had my first check-up today.... they did a pap which is routine (I hadn't had one in over a year anyway) and she warned me "there might be some spotting because a pregnant cervix is very sensitive and more apt to bleed."
SPOTTING had NOTHING to do with it. I had red blood, with black clumps, in what seemed like a LARGE quantity after the pap. I was in tears for about 2 hours, sure I was gonna lose the baby. Its starting to go down now, and I called my doctor and she said its normal, but this is TERRIBLE. I haven't had a drop of spotting my entire pregnancy, this was the most horrifying thing that has happened to me in a long time. I'm still red-eyed and slightly hyperventilating.
So I think i'm never getting a pap again in my life. DEFINITELY never one again while pregnant, I don't care WHAT they say. Pray for my little baby please if you read this.
