It is not uncommon for OB-GYN practices to vary in their procedures and protocols, even within the same region. While some providers may perform regular pap smears during pregnancy, others may only do so if there are specific concerns or risk factors. The primary focus of prenatal care is to monitor the health of both the mother and baby through various means, including urine tests, blood work, measuring the belly, listening to the baby's heartbeat, and discussing any concerns or questions you may have. If you have any specific concerns about your prenatal care or would like a pap smear done, it is best to discuss it with your healthcare provider during your next appointment. They can provide personalized guidance based on your medical history and individual needs.
