Screening during pregnancy

A midwife explores a woman's screening history during the first antenatal care. If a woman has not attended a screening, it is recommended that a midwife take a cervical smear according to screening guidelines based on age or refer a woman to primary healthcare or a gynecologist.

If a woman receives an invitation to be screened during pregnancy and has not been under special surveillance due to abnormal cells, the screening can be postponed until after delivery.

Post-natal care

Women who have had a colposcopy during pregnancy should be followed up with a colposcopy or cone biopsy 6-12 weeks after delivery.
