It needs to be drained ASAP. Call the doctor back.

As for hurting the baby, doubtful. Unless it spreads, which it won't as long as you don't try to burst it yourself.

Yeah! Def not going to do it myself but what if pops on its own? Today it seems to have gone down a tiny bit. I have putting warm wash cloths 3 times a day & putting aloe vera on it (read online that works) I cant contact my doctor till monday though. Thing is it was a lil like this when I seen him tuesday and he just told me to use the cloths ugh

Just called my doc office found out they are open till noon! Talked to a nurse and she said to continue doing the warm wash cloths & take some tyenol & to call my ob/gyn monday! I asked her.. Why? Cuz I thought they only handle vaginal/baby stuff lol & She said I need to speak to them about my treatment options since im pregnant.. Sooo im going to go there! They are prollly going to tell me what needs to be done but go back to the doctor! UGH! so annoying. Hopefully they can just prescribe me some antibiotics that day & when I have the baby go get it actually cut out!
