I had one bad smear experience, it wasn't painful or anything but I was embarrased by the disgusted look the doctor had on her face - I am not unclean and keep myself tidy too so I don't know what her problem was.  Needless to say I changed doctors immediately and haven't had any issues since. 

I really don't mind them being done, a 5 minute smear and cervix check is much easier than pushing a baby out of my vagina for 30 mins.

I think that's exactly right.

Just because they are Maori/PI women, doesn't mean it doesn't apply to you too Becks

I'm gonna have one soon when I get my IUD checked. (Which I should get done soon because I didn't have the post-insertion check )

I think I embarrassed my doc more than me at my last cervix-related check up. I started talking to her (student doc) and realised she knew one of my friends, Jed, so started rabitting on about him while she was doing her thang.

 I had mine done recently *feels smug*

 

I hate having to pay for it too so I tend to save up my minor ailments and issues and then go and see the doc about all of them at once, when I got my smear done I also got a new script for condoms, a new script for gluten free pasta and bread mix and a medical cert as I was off work with a cold.

I was due for one in Feb but will get it done after baby is born, couldn't help that I was preg when it was due! They don't scare me, esp after my m/w had her arm up to the elbow up there trying to find my cervix when I was in labour with the gremlins - makes a speculum seem pretty tame!

This is one thing I am very good at. I'm never late for getting this checked.

I think the ads are actually alright. It deals with the issue of Maori women not wanting to get it done (more so than white women). It deals with the fact that its quick, painless and easy as well. Though that could use some work as I know some people who think its so scary when its really not.]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:58:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18332&PID=415786&title=advertising-on-tv#415786 <![CDATA[Advertising on TV : OT a little, but one of my MALE...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18332&PID=415716&title=advertising-on-tv#415716 Author: lizzle

I am too and I too get up on my soapbox about them too. I told my friend that I would hold her down if she didn't get one down within the week.

I know some people won't go no matter what race they are, doesn't matter what advertising there is on TV (thinking the smoking ones).

On the same subject, I find my girls interesting coz they are half and halfs.

It's because Maori and Pacific Islanders are grossly over-respresented when it comes to health issues such as cervical cancer, obesity etc, partly coz of genetic predisposition, but also coz of cultural barriers which stop people having screening done/getting treatment.

It's just chucking funding where it is most needed, and where it can potentially do the most good.

Don't know about anyone else but I hate the fact that the ads for exercise, smears etc are done by Islanders and Maori's. I think that they need to aimed at everyone as it is a NZ wide problem with woman not getting smears and everyone needs to exercise.
