My friend told me since I'm having a kid I should get a mammogram but when I called my doctor her nurse said that's only for women 40 and over...any opinions?

You will not get a mammogram at all while pregnant.  Ive had a sonogram but thats all they will do untill baby is born.

It's for women 40 and over or with a strong family history of breast cancer. During pregnancy your breasts are going to have lots of lumps and bumps that are completely normal so screening tests for breast cancer won't be accurate anyway.

I have never heard of that. I can't imagine why you would need one just because you're pregnant.
