Hard armpit lump in pregnancy

Hello everyone, 

I'm writing this message while I'm waiting for a letter to say I've been appointed to the breast clinic...I cannot express how scared and lifeless I feel after finding this hard lump, about 1 cm in diameter in my right armpit. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I couldn't think that the joy of waiting for my baby boy to be born can be darkened by such frightening prospect, that I could not be alive to see him growing up. GP's reaction to feeling the lump and all this reading on google got me completely depressed since I didn't find anything encouraging, I was looking for that one person to say yes, I had that and it was nothing to worry about. I'm not even sure I want to know the outcome as I am completely overwhelmed. 
I'm sure there are ladies on this forum that went through the same thing. It will really help me to hear someone else's experience in the same scenario and it will really help me to just express my fears that would be understood here. Everyone else is telling me to stay positive- which I am trying hard to but it seems like the hardest thing at the moment.

Thank you for your replies, ladies. I wish you all health and happiness!

  • Hello, I'm 16 week pregnant on Monday I felt a lump on my armpit, went to the GP on Wednesday he say that everything look ok, but if the lump get bigger or is still there after 2 week I shoul come back. 
    Now, today, Saturday, I found a new lump in the same armpit and I'm so worried, if you googled just find really bad things.

    Now I have to wait till Monday to call to the GP.

     

  • Hey, sorry to jump on this post.. I have had the exact same thing happen to me. I started to get tender breasts at 16 week (due to milk production) then I noticed a lump in my armpit.. I'm not 26. 5 weeks with multiple lumps within the armpit and breast followed by rib and breast pain. (only on my right side)..

    Would it Be worth me going abck to the doctors and they told me at 16 weeks it's to do with pregancy.

    Feels like I have a lump under my arm even when I'm resting ..

    Many thank,

    Kay
