21, 33 weeks pregnant & I've found a breast lump.

I'm really worried & I can't speak with my GP for reassurance till Monday

The other day I noticed quite a big circular lump on my breast that I can put two fingers at the side of and feel round. I thought nothing of it thinking it could be blocked milk ducts or something similar. Tonight I've been to get baby checked as movements have slowed down (she is fine) and happened mentioned to the doctor about the breast lump she said I need to see my GP. I asked if it could be pregnancy related and she said pregnancy doesn't cause breast lumps and it wouldn't be masistus because I'm not breastfeeding yet.

She didn't check the lump or anything just said I need to see a GP (no reassurance but she wasn't very compassionate regarding any concerns I have)

any advice I'm really worried about this.

I had lumps in my one breast during grief or stress and I can remember feeling what you feel waiting and having little ones on my mind that need me. Mine were stress related and didn’t require any further examination and since have went away. Mine were free from my skin or tissue along the bottom side of one. I wish you and your wee one well and please try not to overthink and distract yourself while waiting with good positive shows or books or affirmations that you are okay and that you are blessed to have found it and have an appointment scheduled. And you are doing everything w love for your baby and future that is possible and you have so much joy ahead. Much love to you and peace through until your appointment. They were able to tell me with confidence the first feels of it.

I had a breast lump appear suddenly. Showering in the morning there was no sign, but later that day I showered again..the lump was firm and unmissable.I contacted my health centre the next morning, explained what I’d found and was asked to attend to be seen by a practice nurse. She examined the lump, went to confer with a GP, and in my case action was taken.

Your breasts may feel lumpy or ache. As with early pregnancy, these physical symptoms are generated by the production of hormones, such as progesterone.

But you need reassurance, even under the current difficulties, don’t hesitate to make an appointment with your GP🙂

Sorry to hear of your worries, i had felt a lump in my breast a couple of years ago which i know makes you worry, i wasn't pregnant though. I went to my GP, then had a mammogram appointment and also a scan, nothing came back which was good, so do speak to your GP as soon as possible and get it checked out. Wishing you well Ema1234

Please speak to your surgery and if lump is still there ask for a referral for a scan. Not all lumps can be dismissed due to your pregnancy, too easy for it to be dismissed.
