So they scheduled my first ultrasound in a few weeks (EXCITED) and then my first prenatal appointment a couple of days later. I've already went to had blood drawn and gave a urine sample for my labs. The intake nurse mentioned a physical for that appointment and a pelvic exam.
My question is do I need another pelvic exam if I just had a pap smear less than 3 months ago Or is this different than a pap smear?
I'm a first time Mommy, so I don't know all the answers
Re: Question about 1st prenatal appt
I had my first prenatal appointment yesterday.
My doctor did a standard check-up (listen to my heart, breathing, blood pressure, height, weight) then a breast exam and pap smear because I hadn't had them done in 3 years. If I had been up-to-date I don't think it would have been necessary but I'm also a first time mom so I am kind of clueless.
I had to get another pap when I went to my 1st appt though I have gotten one recently too. Don't know why but I guess it's for precaution.
It's the same type of smear. I actually started bleeding and the dr said it was normal since now our cervix has more blood rushed to that area. I was freaking out a bit the day after but its ok. Since then I have been to my 2nd appt and saw my LO again.,,.:)
Congrats and good luck!

So I went back and look at the paperwork. I had my pap smear four days before my LMP. So literally like 3-4 weeks before I got pregnant. I wonder if the doctor will still want to perform another one?
