January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and it's a time to raise awareness about this disease and the importance of early detection and prevention. Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Today, we’re talking about the importance of cervical cancer screenings during pregnancy and addressing these safety concerns.

Next week is Cervical Screening Awareness Week in the UK so we wanted to check in. When was the last time you had a cervical screening? Is it safe to go during the pandemic? What about when you’re pregnant? We have all the answers right here.

If you’re a female over the age of 21, you’ve probably already had a pap smear (or several) during routine wellness checkups at your gynecologist. If you’re pregnant or hoping to be in the future, you might be wondering: Do I need these during pregnancy? Why should I have them done? Is it safe? Well, we got you covered.
