I'm three months into my first pregnancy and my first prenatal pap came back abnormal. My biggest worry is the fact that my last pap was when I was 16- and if it is cancerous cells- how far have they progressed?
My obgynnordered a colposcopy for me, so the nurse called to schedule the procedure and wouldn't tell me what was found/ why it's needed. Just that I needed it done. My appt is next week.
Cervical cancer was found in both my mother and my maternal aunt, I know that increases my risks significantly.
Has any gone through this? Where can I find good credible information on the procedures for the colposcopy? My mother said the procedure for her 20 years ago was relatively painful, but they could provide locals. Would they be able to do the same and still keep my child safe?
I know the final results aren't in, but with my family history, I'm worried.
Any help would be appreciated.
