I had a particularly nasty internal exam when my waters broke early which left me pouring with blood and the poor HCA who was with me didn’t know what to do or say as the dr who had just snapped a speculum inside me and sliced me open just shrugged and left…but when I went into actual labour 7 days later I was more worried about my babies safety to refuse an examination despite being pretty scared it would happen again!
and now baby is here…I’d also be more worried about cervical cancer being missed if I didn’t go for my smear.
I completely get that there are people out there who have genuine reasons to be worried about having one done. But she just jumps on any bandwagon going.
