Everyone is being kinda mean to you but I 100% understand where you’re coming from and was TERRIFIED to get my first one done. There are a lot of options though! Ask for the smallest sized speculum and you can get your pcp to give you a one time script—

I don’t know why people are being so mean 😭 I’m terrified of getting my pap smear too and I wish i didn’t have to get one. But my goal is to make an appointment… next year.

I believe in you!! It’s a scary thing and it’s okay to be afraid! Communication is key though! Make sure you tell your gyno what you’re feeling and if you’re feeling any pain at all. It’s okay to tell them to stop or go slower.
