Hello, first time mom to be here and just super nervous because I don't know what to expect and I just went for a pap smear and now have some brown spotting. Dr says I'm okay and don't need a rhogam shot but I'm paranoid.

Some advice?
Need some peace of mind as well

Thank you.

    It’s likely your cervix was irritated by the pap. Trust your doctor. If you don’t, find one you will.

    Your cervix was probably irritated and you bled a bit.  The brown spotting is dry/old blood.  It can happen having sex too.  As PP said, trust your doc!
