spotting after pap smear

Post by Cori »

I just left my RE and went back to my regular OBGYN last week as I am now 11 weeks. He gave me a pap smear and pelvic exam and said that I may spot red or pinkish for a day and to not be worried. The next day I spotted brown. Not when I wiped but on my pantyliner. Is this okay? I wanted to call the office but i don't want to be labeled a worrier just yet. Is it normal to give a pap smear during pregnancy?

hey I had a pap smear at 12 weeks, I think it is normal to spot after the exam, because of some blood vessels that are too close down there.
