I felt so uncomfortably awkward, almost terrified, for my first ever smear, that was scheduled in for January just gone...
In december I went for a blood pressure check for my pill, and the nurse said "ooh, I see you have a smear booked for a couple of weeks time, we'll just do that now, get it out the way".... haha, the look on my face...!!!
Anyway, it was fine... She was down there doing her thing and chatting away about Eastenders... I think it is a hell of a lot worse for us lot than the ones doing the tests, and stuff.... They see it everyday, they do it all the time.... We're just another person to them..
Can't say that will stop me getting in a panic next time though...
Hugs, hope you get on ok
