Only one breast leaking and lumps in armpit

Hi. I'm 37 weeks pg and have been leaking at night since c28 weeks. I had a virus and developed a couple of lumps in my right armpit, around the same time I stopped leaking. Didn't think much of it, putting it down to the virus. GP checked lumps and boobs with no concerns raised.

C2 weeks later and leftie has started leaking (a lot more) again but not a drop on the right. I still have the lumpy pit thing going on. Should I take a chill pill until LO arrives and assume all is ok or should I be pushing GP for tests or something? MW didn't seem bothered when I told her but dunno if I got the left vs right thing across properly...

Leftie has always been bigger than rightie but that is becoming increasingly pronounced now - I guess cos milk is coming in on left not right?

TIA for any MN wisdom Thanks

Anyone got any ideas?

If you are worried, it can't do any harm to talk to the GP. However, not leaking doesn't mean anything in itself. In my first pregnancy I leaked the occasional drop from one side, and not at all from the other, and still went on to have an oversupply after he was born.

Thanks Redkites. It's the one sidedness that's been worrying me...

Get it checked. Push for an ultrasound. Probably nothing sinister but any breast thing like this needs checking to make sure.

How are you OP? Have you been checked over?
