    Actually, while I'm not meaning to go on about smear tests and while I think it's a good idea to get them I wouldn't force them on anyone, all GYNs do them here as standard at your first pregnancy appointment and again at the six-week postnatal check. Is that not the same in the UK?

    Am very :mad:, my fairies sent off Spekulatius yesterday and today I saw a bigger pack of nicer ones in the 1€ shop. Still, the ones I sent are from the posh supermarket and very tasty.

    Also, if anyone has 5473683y68 hours to spare, a link.

    Jillie, it'll be me, you all and everyone who's ever been into Accessorize! And I refuse to pay €6 for a Santa hat headband.

    Not here in Scotland, or the rest of the uk AFAIK. I did read somewhere that a smear in early pg has the potential to lead to mc, but I also read the opposite, so who knows! I htought being pg changed your hormones and therefore readings at smears at that time are unreliable IYKWIM? But again, I read this somewhere and I can't quote a source, so again maybe completely false!:rotfl:

    Here it's every so many years (don't know the figure) from age 25 and they say you shouldn't have them while pregnant.
