When was the last time you thought “I’m so excited for my  pap smear”.. Probably never!  It’s just that somewhat annoying checkup you have to start doing in your mid-20s that no one talks about!



The reality is that the whole cervical screening process seems to be something people avoid thinking about until they hit that 25th birthday milestone - and even then, we may forget to go get one done! And honestly, there is a reason why - the whole process brings images of rubber gloves, cold hands and metal instruments to the front of your mind. 



This is something Katie Norbury, the creator of the @getpapped Instagram page and cervical screening advocate, said she noticed when her first pap smear results came back abnormal and she was recommended to see a gynocolgesist for a biopsy.



Because of her own experience, she created a safe community for women to share their experiences and access resources on what to expect, including tips on how to find a GP who will prioritise their comfort and safety during the process.



I hope this episodes pushes you to go and get your next check up booked in - it sure did for me!
