Lumpy boobs & pain in one!

Hi, I've been experiencing pain in my breast. I've watched a video on how to examine my breast but to me they feel very lumpy & bumpy so I'm not really sure what I'm looking for! 

I am 20 & have 2 young children. I have no history of breast cancer that I know of but I don't know much about my family. 

I've tried speaking to my mam & she just says I'm being stupid   

Any advice would be amazing x

    Hey, sorry I'm not much help but I'm 22, have one son and also have a lump in my boob. Try not to worry, best time to check is in the shower cause the soap helps you feel properly. Phone the GP in the morning and get someone to check for you, honestly, it's scary but most likely it'll be nothing. I've got a hospital appointment next Thursday checking a lump I found and I'm terrified! 

    Hope you're OK though, everything will be fine xx
