"I stopped my monthly breast exams when I got pregnant and while I was nursing. I thought it wasn't necessary since my breasts were so different I wouldn't be ablet to find anything anyway. But then I went to a "Check Your Boobies party" and learned that I could, and should, continue with monthly exams while I am pregnant and nursing. The breast health educator taught me how to do it at the party. No one - not my OB, doula or family doctor - had spoken to me about monthly breast exams while nursing and I am so glad I now know how to take care of myself while taking care of my newborn."
