well just rang up docs to book my smear for this morning and heard receptionaist shouting 'can ....do smears now, you sure thats ok?, well just see how it goes' My god she's gonna butcher me

[redcrx]

i didnt wee 4get! :O

[4getmenot]

ha ha redcrx. Yes ummmmm I have a gorgeous little niece. and salla she may have done I dont know I shut myself off :-) It just makes me laugh when they are trying to make small talk with you whilst doing it, been anywhere nice this year.... No have you! lol

[andy-hughes]

I was shocked and a little ashamed that, until I heard Ben Elton's seriously funny 'smear' routine, I didn't actually know what was involved.

Even with two sisters and three daughters I was of the opinion that it was a quick swipe with a cotton wool ball, and 'Examine that ...'.

Apparently (and I suppose why would I know?) it involves a device the size and dimensions of a Ford Cortina, which they keep in the chiller cabinet. Once 'in place' retractable teetch come out ... ladies, you know the rest!

Hope it goes well 4get - lie back and think of George Clooney!

andy I've already had it done between the 2nd and 3rd post :-) That quick I dont know why so many women worry. Although I think you may have put more woman off, size of a ford cotina.... more like a mini metro, with the doors open. :-)

[redcrx]

lol andy!

ummm shes called Amelia :)

[Bbbananas]

Amelia is so pretty.

And just to think.... in another 20 odd years' time, poor Millie will have to go through all this as well. Who'd be a woman eh??!!

[ummmm]

Awww nice name. I'm happy for you's x

[4getmenot]

I think when Amelia is older maybe they may have invented something where you can take test yourself. So many more woman would do it then

Andy , a smear is one thing women have to endure , and Ford shiny vehicle with doors open ...yes . When I needed the surgical team ...yes team....to see inside the baby flat they said it would be a small camera inserted and biopsys taken . Ha .... I thought they had sent in a BBC cameraman in , complete with all his wires , and the DIY sos team to strip the wallpaper samples , meanwhile displaying the flats interior on 4 screens around the room , just so everyone got a good look !!!

[4getmenot]

jeez bigmamma!!

[bigmamma]

Exactly what I was thinking at the time 4get ! Thankfully they decided it was best to take everything out so at least I don't have to go to smears or repeat that camera experience again .

[4getmenot]

so they took it all out to look at it every 3 years lol

[legendis.god]

Andy its about the size of your average anne summers electric toothbrush : 0)


4get im not shy was just a bit sleepy.
Dusty why, was your nurse hot ??

[bigmamma]

[legendis.god]

Seriously 4get is right.
They are necessary and can stop serious health issues if anythings s`potted early



End of seriousness : 0)

[4getmenot]

and I made you speechless :-)

[legendis.god]

Yes .

But ive got a point on the toothbrush

55% of british women have one apparently .

As a paperweight ?
Methinks not : 0)


Anyway get it done

AND UMMMMMM GET YOUR FINGER OUT : 0) LOL

[ummmm]

Proper laughing Leg.....It's not my finger that's in :-0

[andy-hughes]

Just goes to prove what I have always believed -

you ladies are totally correct - men could not bear children, but it's not because of the pain ...

it's the indignity they couldn't cope with!

"I have a group of thirty first-year medical students outside .....!"

AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[ummmm]

When I was in labour with my first I had a student midwife with the midwife. They changed shifts half way through. The new MW had a student with her also.

That's four separate hands shoved up my girlie bit's.....My labour only lasted 4 hours.!!!!!

What we women go through....hmmm
