Had my first one today and,......... it wasn't all that bad.  A little uncomfortable, and a little embarrassing, but it really didn't hurt.  So glad that it is over and I'm fine not having one again for another year .  Oh the pleasures of getting younger, I mean older. 

Yours didn't hurt?  Mine did...it was years ago when my ob/gyn found a spot and wanted me to go get checked...it was funny cause when she had my boob on the thing, she kept raising the thing it was being squeezed on, so I was on my tippy toes...stupid me...I should've just let her put the squeeze on it and get it over with but it hurt..when she realized what was happening she laughed and had to lower it some...

thanfully the spot wasn't anything..but that sure is scary!!

 I had to take my kids with me and they thought it was great fun mummy having photos taken of her 'cushions' !!

I thought it would hurt (my mother often complains) but it didn't hurt and overall t wasn't a difficult experience.

The best bit was finding out that I didn't have breast cancer, as suspected by my over-zealous doctor..just some hormonal swelling!

oneplustwo- thank goodness everything was normal. 

alice 17- too funny about your cushions!  thank goodness for some dr's, better to be safe.

I had one years ago to check a lump I had, but for me it was uncomfortable and embarasing I am very tiny and when girlfriend told me to place my breast on the table I thought I was going to die...uhm my bb's are way to small to place anywherte lol!! Of course now I am gratefull I am small (they don't sag even after nursing half a dozen kids or so ) lol!!!!!

 I wish I could remember just how many mammograms, or as I like to call them, MAIM-o-grams. That reminds me, I about due for mine.
