The recommendation from the health board is that women get pap smears done every year. They aren't the most comfortable thing but these doctors deal with this daily and there is nothing for you to worry about. I used to freak out but they're no big deal now.
Although I've never heard of IMs doing paps, if you feel comfortable with her, I'd explain your fear (while clothed) and she should be able to calm your nerves and make it less tramatic for you.
