Jen:
It's OK to be scared. I think that you may be more afraid that they will find something rather than the pain of it and I understand that fear. That is one good strong reason to go ahead and have it done and put that fear behind you. The earlier you catch anything, the easier and best chance you have and most likely everything is OK anyway. Your Dr is wise to have it done early. I wish looking back that I did have a reason to have one earlier...even with the minor discomfort (and I was nursing at the time!) that I experienced.
Take care and please post again and let us know how it goes.
Peace ~ Ruth
