Going for a pap test tomorrow. This has never been my favorite thing (like it's anyone's FAVORITE THING) but I haven't had one in a while and I'm quite nervous. Do you think the doc would object to me bringing my own robe? I'm wayyy too big for some tiny paper blanket and gown. Also, I'm so nervous about getting in stirrups... last time I did it, I was like 75lbs lighter. This is gonna be awful.

Any tips, support - anything is appreciated...

Also, have my psych eval Wednesday. I hope to get some answers tomorrow about where we go from here... wish me luck!

It's not the most fun thing but it's pretty quick and painless. I actually always schedule mine before they have to remind me. It just makes me feel better to have it done regularly.

As far as the robe, the only objection I think they would have is for sanitary issues. Not that you are unhygenic, but that's why everything in a doctor's office is disposable. When I go, they usually give me two gowns, one over the front and one over the back. And they have pretty big blankets so that's never been a problem. However, just remember that the doctor is basically going to look at your entire body anyway so there's no real reason to worry about covering up. Between a breast exam, a pelvic exam and the Pap itself, you're all exposed. I know it's not the best advice, but you will be fine! And it will be over before you know it!
