I agree with all the others... I am 29 and only went for my first smear test this year. I was terrified (abuse history - yada yada) but it was so much better than I expected. Apparently I have a pretty long vagina, which meant I had to have a longer speculum than most, and even then my GP had to try a few times to actually reach my illusive cervix, but the most I felt was discomfort, and never any pain. It is strange, yes, but I wouldn't describe it as painful. Keep talking to the doctor and breathing...
