So you've most likely read the post concerning the abnormal cells on my cervix.
2 weeks ago I had my next set of tests done at the hospital, and it was one of the strangest things I've done to date.
I had no care for bubba pixie, she had a cold, and knowing that the hospital almost always runs late, I didn't want to leave her in child care for fear or not having time to pick her up (plus it was her first day!). So she had to come with me.
The time of my appointment was right when her afternoon sleep should have been, so she was not thrilled at being in a pram or being awake. This meant that when I finally got to see the doctor (an hour late) bubba was not going to sit in her pram happily why mummy had her bits prodded and scraped.
The only solution was to hold her. Half naked, on a table with legs in stirrups, and a baby on my chest sobbing as she wanted cuddles and boobie . And to make it more awkward still, the whole procedure was on a big screen in the room so the doctor could see the cells - and bubba pixie was watching. I couldn't help thinking "yes baby girl, you were squeezed out of there!"
Anyway, all awkwardness aside, I had the smear done, the cells checked, and am now awaiting the results. Never again will I leave it so long to have a Pap smear. I figure that by now, the doctors have seen it all anyway!
