has not gone away....I guess there goes chalking it up to some pregnancy related thing. Now, I just have to get over my fears that something could be wrong and just go to the doctor, see if something is, and start trying to deal with it. I'm so afraid of cancer, and even though I have no history in my family, I am young, I am helathy and I don't do any of the things that would cause cancer, it is one of my biggie fears. Now it is really present. I can't even make myself make the appt. My problem is I am a hypocondriac, but I am a procrastinator too, so I worry to death about everything that could be wrong with me but then I put off doing anything about it...I guess it usually works out because it turns out to be nothing by my paranoia, but I'm kicking myself now thinking I should have gone to the doctor about this, pregnant or not....if anyones reading this, could you keep me in your prayers...I just don't know that I could handle anything serious right now....

Prayers that it is nothing! Pregnancy can do weird things to a body. Go to the doc and get it checked out-you will feel better. Try not to worry until you have something to worry about!

carmen make the appt today, please! i got a lump on my jawbone/neck after adam was born.... scared me to death- same reasons you mentioned here. dermatologist said it is 100% nothing. i was so relieved. she said that the pregnancy was related somehow and that it might or might not go away.

it could easily be nothing (which is what i am praying for you) so go get peace of mind.

for you, Carmen...

I'm the same way with doctors - and I should be going every 3 months (for the rest of my life) because of the diabetes. Know what?! I've gone to the doctor ONCE since K&K were born 4 years ago And I only went then because the pharmacy wouldn't give me any more insulin without a new Rx! I don't go for the exact same reason you mention - fear of something being horribly wrong...

PLEASE go - just call & make the appointment. We'll ALL feel better...

Praying that it's a big NOTHING
