Ughhh...it makes me shudder just thinking about it.</p> <p>@PrincessBaby: The rectal swab is external. My midwife had patients self-administer. Either way, it's no big deal.

HATE those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366952 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:20:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 366952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dread pap smears! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366947 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:15:38 +0000 lemondrop 366947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: it really was nothing for me, I had built it up to be way worse than it was. It went super quick and I was back in my clothes in no time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366940 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:07:40 +0000 Arden 366940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: You usually won't get any symptoms with Group B Strep. Just BAM! Positive test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366934 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:03:12 +0000 blackbird 366934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those with vaginal exams... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366081 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:17:50 +0000 BelugaBean 366081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Nope, I felt totally normal! I had no idea I had it and actually thought it was going to be negative. I was surprised when they called me to tell me that it was positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366070 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:14:19 +0000 PrincessBaby 366070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mandb36: Good to know! Just out of curiosity, were you sick or did you have any symptoms of Group B strep? I guess I'm wondering if you can feel totally normal and then be like "Oh, I got a positive swab." I am clueless:)</p> <p>@sweetkate: @hergreenapples: Thank you both! I will def ask if I can self-administer:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366063 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:12:40 +0000 chopsuey 366063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Okay maybe I did have it done if it's part of the Group B strep? HAHA. I didn't feel it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366050 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:07:40 +0000 heartonastring 366050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I've read that a lot of doctors will let you do the Group B swab yourself - definitely worth asking if you're anxious about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366049 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:06:25 +0000 KT326 366049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I didn't even feel the rectal swab. I think he just swiped it along the outside really quick. I felt the vag one more. </p> <p>I'm better now but I used to dread going I the dentist. I always needed work done! But I finally got all my old fillings replaced and things have been good for awhile. I do love getting my teeth cleaned though, I feel so refreshed after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366035 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:03:30 +0000 BelugaBean 366035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I had to do the Group B Strep swabs twice (once like normal and the second time to determine what strain it was). I was really dreading it but it honestly wasn't as bad as it sounds. It was around the outside for me, nothing internal.</p> <p>I dread any doctor's appointment that includes needles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366031 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:02:58 +0000 PrincessBaby 366031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Well maybe Dr Google is wrong! I hope so! I can handle things going into my V but I'd prefer to skip anything entering elsewhere, lol:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366023 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:00:33 +0000 chopsuey 366023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I never got a rectal swab done.. ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-doctor-appointments-do-you-dread-the-most#post-366020 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:59:13 +0000 PrincessBaby 366020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: That's what I read...That it's one swab in the vag and then another in the rectum.
