So I had mine today - and I was a little freaked out because I was under the impression they swabbed...umm...inside your bumhole....I don't know where I got this idea.
Needless to day - my doctor didn't . Now I feel dumb for being even slightly worried about this silly, little test.

But they didn't have you go inside your bumhole right? (just around)

I had one in L&D a few weeks ago and the doctor was sure to remind me it was a swab from the vagina to the rectum so it might catch you off guard! He said he likes to warn all his patients or it's a bit surprising. haha
I had mine on tuesday and it was no big deal at all.
haha i had mine yesterday! i knew it was coming up but i honestly had no idea what it entailed and figured i'd know the appointment beforehand that I was getting it so I could research it and all... WRONG.
the nurse told me they were doing it when i got there, I immediately had my boyfriend start iphone googling what they were going to be doing, he idiotically googled "strep throat" (seriously?) and didn't find out in time what was going on... awkward.
