I got my first smear done this year (I'm 26). They kept sending me reminders but I thought that no way no way in a million years was I going to let anyone do that!
It actually wasn't so bad. No stirrups or anything. No onlookers. I just went to see her for another reason and (saving the biggie for last - oops) mentioned it right at the end. She was ok. It was a bit clinical, but then if it wasn't clinical then I think that would be worse. And like I say, no stirrups.
I need to go to the dentist but I am putting that one off. My friend who was very afraid went to one who just gassed her unconscious. Laughing gas is pretty good though. I shall go sometime...
