Hey ladies, for those who also had a colposcopy during pregnancy, how did it go for you? I couldn't relax at all; I was scared (not for myself, of course), and I even jolted when they turned the mirror — it was really uncomfortable. Honestly, I was in shock. Why is this even done for pregnant women? If I had known, I would have declined. Right now nothing hurts or aches, there’s no discharge, it's been two hours, but I’m still worried. I hope my little one didn’t feel anything 😢

At seven weeks, the procedure was performed, and the [term] lasted about three days.

Natalka Did they hurt you as well? Was it just a minor injury, and they didn't threaten you?

Natalka Darn, I’m so angry about this—there’s no excuse.
Pregnant women shouldn’t be poked or prodded at all 😡😡😡

I was 12 weeks along when I had it done. I bled for a day. They scheduled another appointment for September 10. A polyp appeared there as well, and I don’t want anyone to go near that area.

Everything will be fine! May I ask why it was done? Was it medically indicated? I also believe this procedure should be done either before pregnancy or after, but not during.

mariya Oh, I hope everything turns out well for you 💓💓💓. Did you use any ointment, or did it clear up on its own?

After a colposcopy, I still bleed; I usually have some spotting. They prescribed something during my pregnancy, but I didn't go.

Why did you have it done for you?

Liliya That's the thing: before pregnancy I was examined thoroughly, and a colposcopy was done.
During pregnancy, they routinely schedule it for everyone as a mandatory step when you register for maternity care.
Before pregnancy everything went smoothly and was painless.
Now I'm not sure—perhaps it's my nerves, and perhaps the increased blood flow to the uterus is causing these sensations.

Well, I wasn’t pregnant at the time. It was just a routine check-up, and your baby will be fine. They didn’t go into your uterus; they only looked at your cervix. If a biopsy had been done, that would be a different matter. So please don’t worry and don’t overthink it.

During that moment, I never climbed onto the chair.
There was nothing to do there.
The initial strokes were made carefully.

sona chukova Thanks! Before pregnancy I could cope with it and I did fine. But now it's really something else—it's tough. I think I've probably blown it out of proportion in my head, haha.

Liliya How much things have changed.
When I was pregnant with my daughter for the first time, they looked at me while I sat in the chair—at most three times.
They’d say there was no need to go there more than necessary 😂😂😂.
Don’t worry—the main thing is to eat tasty treats and get plenty of rest.

Hmm. They only performed a cytology test on me. It was unpleasant, but I can get through it.

It's normal for the baby there.
I've been examined on the exam chair countless times—it's impossible to count… it doesn't affect the baby.

mariya I don’t understand what they’re applying there 😳
This is a colposcopy—an examination using a colposcope (something like a microscope).

Natalka What horrors. I have no idea at all where this smear could have come from. It's just a colposcopic examination of the cervix.

mariya There wasn't a polyp at the initial examination, but it appeared later. It bled for me, and I thought it was the worst, but it turned out to be caused by the polyp.

mariya And what next?
They're just examining her under the device.
I paid for the service—and everything was displayed on the screen.
First, a simple exam, then they apply some solution (I don’t remember which) and examine again.
And that’s it. No scrapes, not even standard smears were done.

Natalka How exactly should this be positioned so that it doesn’t tilt? 😳
We have already had the speculum inserted twice, with no discomfort.
In the previous three pregnancies, it was also inserted—at least twice when registering for prenatal care.

Irina Could you tell me where the swabs were taken from you? If you didn’t sit on the chair or lie on the floor, where were they collected? And before delivery, were swabs not taken then either?

Irina You know best.
My point wasn't about where the swabs are taken, but that there isn't much to look at there.
Swabs, at most, should be taken carefully on the examination table.
Only in the early or late stages of pregnancy, and only if ...
