How soon after having a baby do i need a pap smear?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Need to know more about you--how many smears you have had when was the most recent were any abnormal most likely, this can be decided at the time of your postpartum visit (usually at 6 weeks aftyer delivery).
