to be really scared and need some tlc

[goldenwispa]

Have a 3 month old and whilst in labour midwife found a cyst. I haven't ventured down there until tonight when I decided to have a feel for it. I did find it and it scared me. I went downstairs to tell DH and ask him to have a feel. He said I will wash my hands and come up. That was half an hour ago....
AIBU to have expected him up by now??? X

YANBU. Is he watching the end of Dallas?

But seriously,did the Midwife say to see your GP or anything?

Lol, no x

YANBU but giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he doesn't realise how concerned you are. Did the midwife follow it up?

X post sparkling

No, she went and got a gyno to come have a feel and he just said it might pop in labour....

Non of them said to see gp and I was hoping that the gyno was the expert??

To be fair to him, maybe he's a bit grossed out by it. Perhaps it would be better to see your GP?

I think if you are scared you should make a GP appointment and discuss it even if just to put your mind at rest, It's bothering you, and you don't need the worry with a 3 month old to look after.

The Gyno said it might pop but it hasn't.

Apost- really???

a cyst isnt usually anything to worry about
maybe he doesnt realise you are worried?

If he is like my DH he would be worried about saying the wrong thing. What do you want him to say? I doubt he is grossed out TBH.

When I told him I had found it I laid my head on his chest and filled up. So I think he may understand that I am worried. I'm such a soft cow I suppose I should cut him a break x

shout down, and ask him if he is coming up, or what?!

Make an appointment with the GP tomorrow. Don't wait for your DH's verdict.

Just told him sorry for putting it on.him.will make an appointment tomorrow x

and what was his response?

I think that's the best decision. You can stop worrying then. x

Goldenwispa, I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you there. What I was meaning is, some people are quite squeamish (myself included). I'm not saying it's right, and you're obviously really worried, but I just wondered if that might be a reason - avoidance rather than him not wanting to come up.

I do think you should get it seen to though.

Oh and for what it's worth, cysts are fairly common - I often got them on my breasts when I was younger.

Try not to worry (easier said than done I know) and make a phone call in the morning.

goldenwispa please try not to worry and as . apostropheuse says call your GP it is often the unknown that is scary. Perhaps speak to your DH about how you are feeling?

Cysts aren't a huge deal! Just think of it as a big spot. Go to your GP and confirm that's what it is and stop fretting!

Hot baths generally help them pop.

Of course I am not a doctor & u should go see yours to put your mind at rest but don't worry yourself.

I am very prone to cysts. I currently have around 5-8 I think somewhere on me. I don't look like some huge lumpy monster by the way they are all hidden.

I've been prone to them for years & the only time I've had problems was when I got cysts inside my eyelids - ouch, lucky me!

They are harmless sacks of fluid & usually go away on their own but they can be popped or drained. I just ignore if I can.

Ummm I wouldn't want to feel anyone's cyst, even a DP or my DS. I'd be getting them to seek medical attention urgently but I'm not a doctor and I'm very squeamish, there would be no point in me feeling someone's cyst. Maybe he wants to support you without having to feel the cyst?

Why are the people with the great cysts never married to the people with the sporn obsessions. It's not fair.

Morning golden. Have you made the appointment yet?
