Just been to the nurse for my routine smear. I admit I was very nervous and tense, but I couldn't believe how much it hurt!!! Most of the pain was when she inserted the horrible plastic thing (I swear the metal ones used to be more comfortable if a little cold!!!!).
She didn't seem too concerned and said it was because I was tense. But as usual I'm thinking all kinds of horrible thoughts now!! I am convinced it has made my tummy ache worse as well!
At 33, I have had quite a few smears, but none of them hurt like that!!!!
Any advice greatfully received!!!
