I didn't know what forum to post this type of question in and this is the only once close to the topic at hand. I apologize if I'm in the wrong place.
I was told in October of last year to get my first mammogram this past year and ofcourse I didn't do it. I forgot. Now I want to drop in and get it done hopefully one day this week. I'm 39 years old and this is my first one. They said it was to be done between age 38-40.
I'm wondering what that first mammogram is like. I'm a little nervous about doing it. I don't know why. I'm sure it's not as bad as a pap smear or even having a baby and I've been there done those things a few times.
Thanks for any insight on this.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
good luck..you will be lucky if you can get it done that quick. usually it takes awhile to get one.

Anyway, you will be fine. Any discomfort is worth it to take good care of ourselves
