Pap smears and pain

Sarah
My husband and I have been TTC for a year and a half. Today I had Pap smear done, I've 4 done in last 6 years and I have never been in pain after one. It feel like someone is pressing down hard. It's not really a cramping feeling, more like pressure. If that makes sense. Is it normal? My PCM told me my cervix was to the side, could that cause it?
