No, it is not going to hurt. It may be uncomfortable but it is not going to be painful.

No, it doesn't hurt. I had to go for my first time when I was 15 because of health issues. My doctor knew it was my first time and she was wonderful. Yes, it is a little uncomfortable and awkward (since you have your legs wide open in front of a stranger) but it really isn't bad at all. Let your doctor know you are nervous and he/she will probably explain to you what they are doing before they do it to set your nerves at ease. You have nothing to worry about.

No it isn't painful, just a little weird. I like to close my eyes and just picture someplace nicer... lol... like the beach.

It's more uncomfortable than painful. The utensils they use are sometimes cold and are slightly shocking to your body's temperature but if you are prepared and the GYNO is a good one, then he or she will inform you of what they are doing and all will be fine! Good luck!

To avoid pain just relax

Yeah, the best thing to do is relax. If you build it up in your head that it is going to be awful - then it will be.
Normally, what will happen is this -
They will call you back to the exam room, with a stop off to get your weight and sometimes your height, you will go to the room and the nurse will ask you questions. Once that is done, you will be given a gown to put on. Everything off underneath. You sit on the table and wait for the doctor. When he/she arrives (with a nurse) and finishes with the "hellos" they will have you lay back or sit up (depending on the dr.) and do a breast exam - not painful, just awkward. Then you will be asked to scoot down the table with your feet up in the stirups. They will check your ovaries and then do the pap smear. Again, if you relax it should not be painful - just awkward.
And then the dr. and nurse leave and you get dressed and go home.
It's just one of those things that, as a woman, you must endure to make sure you are healthy. If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask - that is what the dr. is there for.
Good Luck.
