I had one done when I was pregnant in 2005 because I had an abnormal pap.  Anyways, it didn't really hurt at all and if you're worried that it will you can take 2 tylenol about an hour before and that may help.  They hype you up into thinking it's going to hurt like hell and it really doesn't.  HTH and Good Luck.

I have to get a colposcopy done dec.17th and i'm pregnant. everyone told me it's completely fine and safe

well while you are preg they shouldnt do a biopsy make sure u talk to your doc before they do...just going up therer and looking is pretty much the same as a pap. its the biopsy that would hurt and they numb it before they do that.

I had abnormal cells during my pregnancy and my doctor opted not to do anything. She said that a lot of times giving birth will actually remove the cells and we would wait until then to do anything. She was correct in my sittuation the cells went away and Ive had a normal pap since. I know when I wasn't pregnant I had to have a coloscopy to me the worst part was laying there while they let the cotton soaked in vinegar sit inside (this is supposed to make abnormal cells more visable) However, due to the tilt of my cervix they were unable to get a clear view of the whole cervix and I ended up having to schedule a LEEP.

I had one in Feb 2008.  Even without taking motrin before it was ok.  It was uncomfortable, but not horrible. You may spot or have weird discharge (like coffee ground color) for a day or so after.

what is this Coloscopy i had a pap a few days before i found out i was prego with this baby and they said i had an abnormal pap and that is what it was what is it and how do u get rid of it

 I've had several colposcopys done and 2 during pregnancy.  I've also had multiple biopsies during pregnancy (during the colps.) and they really aren't that bad.  Very minimal cramping/burning that went away within an hour or so!  Just take some tylenol about an hour before you go!

hi heather i had one done in august of this year i was scared as well i didnt hurt as bad as you would think it just feels like a little cramp when they take a sample all they do is spray the vinegar solution and then take a sample dont stress over it . it will be ok

Thank you I hope i can go a little less anxiety filled.

Hi there... so to be completely honest with you... a colposcopy is where they take a magnifying lens and look closer at your cervix... the Most Likely will not do a biopsy during pregnancy. for your first one they will just look. I have severe cervical cancer and am pregnant with our third (i was diagnosed in between baby number 2 and this one. we were told due to all that was going on we couldnt get pregnant. went to have a leep completed and found out we were pregnant. so after this baby I am scheduled to have a 6th colposcopy (2nd one with biopsy) and then a cold knife cone biopsy with treatment. My colposcopies did not hurt. i was not one of the lucky ones to be numbed for my biopsy but it didnt hurt either. =) nothing to be scared of I promise. (= you will do wonderful its just like a pap smear but a closer view. keep us posted and good luck =)
