im not sure. i just recently had a friend that was diagnosed with breast cancer. the only reason they found it was because she was pregnant. i dont know all the details of what they did during the pregnancy but i do know that you should go to your obgyn and talk to them about it. since your pregnant and you already have large breast it may be just a milk gland but its better to be safe then sorry so go to the dr. and have them feel it and check it out and see waht they say. i do know that my friend went through kemo and radiation after she gave birth and then she went into remistion for a lil while.

I found one too when I was pregnant, I was sent down for a mammogram the day after giving birth. It was only a clogged milk duct. This will also be your probable cause, but you should tell your doctor and let the doc check it as they are more familiar with what glands are supposed to feel like. In the meantime, do not let worry get to you. Keep calm as worry is not good for the baby.

You really need to talk to your OB doctor right away about the lump, but chances are it is a milk duct swelling up. Most importantly don't panic

Go to the doctor. But I think mamo's and other xrays would be ok as they'd localize to breast.
Aren't you doing pre-natal care?

Well, there is not much that we can do about it. Would you rather get an xray for cancer (possibley) or would you rather have your child have medical issues? We cant resolve this for you. Its all your choice.
hope I helped,

They wont give you an x-ray it will be an ultrasound. I found one while i was preg turned out to be just a cyst.

1 X-ray poses no danger to the baby, especially after the first trimester. You need to get to your doctor ASAP.

you really should get to the doctors just in case then you will know what your options are there again you may find out its just a milk gland?

Best to just speak with your doctor about your concerns on it. It could just be a cyst.. but, I'd speak with your doctor
