I have a colposcopy this Thursday… I am so nervous.
They might wanna do a biopsy… like take samples but I think I’m gonna tell them to wait till I’m not pregnant anymore…

Try not to worry too much. Will your ob/gyn Dr being doing the colposcopy? You can ask them any questions you have regarding the colposcopy before they get started.
I assume you mean a “colonoscopy”. I had one a few months ago. The worst part was the preparation with a restricted diet and then an all liquid diet for a couple days. And you have to drink a cleansing preparation liquid.
The actual day of the procedure was easy. I got to the hospital and changed into a gown and they hooked an IV into my arm and wheeled me in to the OR. I remember a couple nurses standing over me and the next thing I know I wake up in another room and it was over. It was that simple; no pain, no discomfort.
@77nick77 A colposcopy is a procedure to closely examine a woman’s cervix, vagina and vulva for signs of disease. It’s typically recommended after an abnormal Pap test.
Oops, my mistake.
No worrues. My autocorrect keeps trying to change colposcopy to colonoscopy. Luckily I noticed and changed it back.
Yeah, I’ll be having a DR at the women’s center doing it…
I plan on asking her about the procedure before it’s done…
I just imagine it’s worse than a Pap smear and those suck
It takes a little longer than a Pap because they’re looking very closely with a Colposcope which takes time. They may also use this vinegar smelling solution which apparently can make it easier to see any abnormalities. It can sting a little bit when applied but not too bad.
I would guess that, if they see any abnormal looking spots that they would probably delay any biopsies until after you’ve delivered the baby. That would definitely be a question to ask the dr.
In my experience, cervical biopsies are not really painful but there is some bleeding.
Yeah they mentioned the vinegar solution and the doctor said she might take samples if she sees anything… but I’m gonna ask her to wait till after I deliver the baby.
I read that the cervix can be more sensitive when pregnant too
Yeah, definitely discuss any concerns with your dr. Try not to get too anxious. I know that’s easier said than done.
Good luck with your procedure @anon61987434
Thank you @Bowens
