Due a cervical smear test - do they do this at antenatal appt?

LegacyUser

Hi there,
I haven't had a cervical smear for 3 years, and am due a repeat.
I am also 10 weeks pregnant.
Just wondering will they do this for me when I attend the Coombe for my antental care appointment?
Thanks

I was due one too when I got pregnant and they left it until 3 months after my son was born.

You can't have a smear test when you're pregnant, they'll wait til about 3 months after... you have to register on http://www.cervicalcheck.ie/ for your free test.. all the info is there click on 'check the register' and fill in the form..

Hi I'm 29 and I have never had a smear... I was at my first visit in the Coombe last week and during the history with the midwife this question pops up, she just advised me to have a smear done three months after the birth.. you couldn't have a smear done at the moment due to the current tenennt in your womb

I was told you couldn't get a smear until a year after giving birth as it was more likely to show up irregularities - just wondering now has anyone else been told this ore am I overdue?
