OK so I've seen all the commercials but I never thought it would pertain to me. But here I was getting ready to have a c-section and they ask me about my HPV. What?!? This was the first I had ever heard of it. It was found during my pap at the beginning of my pregnancy and here I was 8 months later and just hearing about it. I understand that they didn't want to scare me and there was nothing I could do about it during pregnancy but what about my other decision. Shouldn't I have had the info when I was given the option of having a c-section. It makes me mad. I actual brought it up at my 6 week cheakup.

Anyway, I came up clean for cervical cancer. I am due for another pap smear this month to recheak. I am procrastinating. UGH!!!!!

What was the doc response at your 6-week? I think some docs assume everyone has been exposed to it already or they have the mind set when your preg. there isn't much they can do so lets watch it and see especially if it is one of the non-wart types.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
