Smear test

Hi I'm having my first ever smear test next month and I'm extremely anxious and worried about doing it as the last time I had a test similar to this was 4 years ago when I had a horrible miscarriage of my twins. 
 

any tips on not to feel scared about it!

  • Hello Crazyanimallady7, 

    Welcome to our forum. I can understand why you are feeling worried as it sounds like you suffered a traumatic experience four years ago - I am so sorry to hear you suffered a miscarriage with your twins. This is not something one can ever forget but I hope that our detailed information here on cervical screening will give you some reassurance as to what the test entails. I really recommend you watch the little video on this page which will show you what you can expect on the day of your test. It is really important to get your smear tests done and I am sure many ladies will join me in telling you it's over before you even know it! 

    Best of luck for your first smear test! I am sure it will all go well. 

    Best wishes,
