During pregnancy, the milk-producing glands become swollen and the breasts might feel lumpier than usual. It can be difficult to examine your breasts when you are pregnant, but you should continue to do so. Although not common, breast cancer has been diagnosed during pregnancy. So, if you have a question about the way your breasts feel, talk to your doctor.

It could not be cancer. Sometimes when a woman is pregnant, she can develop non-cancerous breast lumps that are called fibroandenomas. There is also other things that could cause it such as injury that could lead to a ruptured blood vessel that causes localized bleeding leading to the damage of fat tissue in the breast known as fat necrosis.

If it is painful, that is a good sign. May be a cyst or something very simple. Cancerous tumors are normally not painful. That is what I have always heard for years. Good for you! Get it checked out to be safe.

I wouldn't be too worried about it. It's really rare for 18 year olds to get breast cancer, but it is common for pregnant women to get benign breast lumps. Usually, they go away after you have the baby. Have your doc check it out to set your mind at ease.

You should take any lump on your breast seriously, whether you're pregnant or not. It could be possible! Good thing you have an appointment tomorrow.

Yes it is possible to have cancer when pregnant. But it could also be just a cystic cyst... Point it out to your doctor and let him/her check it out...

Probably milk ducts I had that before
sometimes they get clogged and you get mastitis.
