Got a call last night about a 29 year old mom who has recently moved into the area. She is 8 months pregnant, and a few months ago weaned her 4 year old twins. She is going to a lay midwife for her first prenatal checkup today. Her question was about a lump that is just under the nipple. She says it is enlarging as the pregnancy progresses, and is tender. When the twins were nursing, she says she could sometimes get a yucky cheesey material from the lumpy area, but now cannot. This mom does not believe in traditional medicine. She says she will not see a doctor about this. She may consider a naturopathic healer if her lay midwife says she should. She says she is afraid it could be cancerous but even if it is she still wants to breastfeed and will do nothing to interfere with this.The lump, by the way has been there for over a year. Does anybody have any ideas for her? Refuses MD even though was strongly encouraged to see someone, Would appreciate any ideas, or what worked for encouraging further encouraging mom to see seriousness of this problem.......Thanks..
