A member asked:

Is it normal to spot after a pap smear while pregnant? how long am i supposed to spot for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: spotting very common as the cervix is congested for a few days 1- 2 depending on the extent of exam if a biopsy is done may spot longer vs a brushing or scraping
