Reschedule!! I got mine the morning of my 6 week and when i called they rescheduled me for the following week.
They do a pap and examine the area and I know it can interfere with results, it isn't even for the messy factor that they hold off, its for more accurate pap results...

If you already had a pap during your pregnancy, they don't typically do another one at your PP visit. They typicall just check to make sure your cervix is closed. I was on my period and the midwife didn't care. She said she sees blood on a daily basis ;)

I know - at 1st I told my dr. that she's going to think its gross, and then I said - but after that C Section you did on me, I'm sure nothing else could be grosser... she also said she handles placentas and everything else, she can deal with a little menstrual blood!!!

See, my practice was different..they considered my 6 week my annual exam even though I too had a pap early in pregnancy. And if that is the case, with any practice, they usually will hold off on the pap because i know it can interfere with results.
Glad your appointment went well!
