Smear test after a miscarriage !!!?

Question

Is it true that, before you plan to conceive, you must do a smear test ? Cause I am terrified of that damned smear test. I have had a silent miscarriage in December 2006 and had a d'n'c done, but my husband wants that I have a smear test done before trying to conceive again.

Answer 1

Are you talking about a Pap smear? If so, yes, you should be having them done every year no matter whether you are trying to get pregnant, are pregnant, or just had a miscarriage. They are nothing to be afraid of--totally painless. It takes less than a minute and after the first one you will be fine with them.
