I had a Pap smear while pregnant too. Once that year rolls around, pregnant or not, doctors will take advantage of the frequent appointments and get it done. They like each patient to have one a year.

I hate getting Pap smears done. I am really over due right now. I'm getting one done this month!! My doctor calls it the five minute special!! Actually, takes a little longer than that.

Oh, Yaelle, at any stage of pregnancy did you have a strep B test?

That's what I thought!

There was one thing, though--at least at the times I was pregnant. (Of course, they change everything around all the time!) Seems to me that the doctor didn't want to actually do a pelvic in the last month or so of pregnancy, b/c they feared infection or something?

So, I mean, would they have wanted to do a pap smear, which requires a speculum, that close to the end of pregnancy?
