Breast Self-Exam: How To

Breast self-exam is done once a month so that you become familiar with the usual appearance and feel of your own breasts. The best time to do a breast self-exam is two to three days after the end of your period, when your breasts are less likely to be tender or swollen.

If you discover anything unusual, such as lumps, discharge from the nipple or dimpling or puckering of the skin, you should see your doctor at once. Remember, eight out of 10 biopsied breast lumps are not cancer.

A Place of Comfort

I had my 3rd son on 04/18/2015 (my birthday) in the hospital with the most amazing care I've experienced after having two sons in my home country Nigeria.

More than anything, I wish I could turn back the hands of time and have my older kids in Missouri Baptist Medical Center. Katie was my nurse in Labor & Delivery and she was my comfort throughout my period in labor. She made me feel so comfortable and confident even when I declined an epidural.

I loved the way I was taken care of before my baby was born and right after my son arrived. Pat was my nurse in mummy and baby and what a delight she was. I am ever so thankful and grateful for the care and love shown upon myself and family.
