Top reasons why Stay at Home Moms don’t get mammograms

• After taking care of everyone else there is no time for me to get to the doctor
• I don’t have a babysitter to watch the kids during the appointment
• I am not sure about the cost - maybe my health insurance won’t pay for this
• I don’t have any symptoms - I feel fine
• Maybe they will find something - but I’m not sure I really want to know
• I’ve heard mammograms hurt
• I don’t have a regular doctor and don’t know who to go to -
• I’m getting my hair done and that is all the “me” time I have this month
• The car is in the shop
• I have to get ready for Halloween
• I have to get ready for Thanksgiving
• I have to get ready for Christmas / Hanukkah
• As soon as I get the laundry done I’ll make the call
• I’m too young and there is no family history
• I’m too old - what’s the point
• I am working on the school fundraiser and after that is over I’ll make the call
• The doctors office is too far away and I don’t have time to get there and then still get the kids from school
• add your own
