I check mine a little to often, but since finishing feeding DS2 a couple of months ago they are quite lumpy- feel abit paranoid? Should I get the doctor to check them (I had them checked when I bf as I had large lump in my armpit)
Anyhoo am abit over worried about C so I just wanted to know if everyone elses were lump free??

Mine are quite lumpy but if you're worried i would go and see dr just to reassure yourself. I saw dr about a lump a few years ago and had biopsy and ultrasound and it was all fine, just an unidentified harmless lump.

I cant remember my breasts being anymore lumpy after bfing but then i cant remember much of those sleep deprived months but it seems quite likely that they would feel different afterwards.

Sorry I cant be more help, im sure someone better informed will be along soon.

Xena - I found a big lump in one of mine last yr - had a mammogram and a biopsy and it was fine - the lump is still there.

Get it checked out for your peace of mind

Not mine but my sister's are very lumpy. She's had them checked out a few times but nothing sinister. Get yourself checked if you're worried.

Mine are lumpy to. I had a begin lump remove about 10 years ago (when I was 23) and check them over regularly as both my mother and aunt have had the same. I agree with the others that it is most likely just the natural breast tissues, but for peace of mindjust pop to yourgp to have it checked out.

Feel like a hypocondriac sp?
I had a biopsy about 4yrs ago and had the gp check them after DS and she did check the whole breast, but actually both of them are lumpy-- not to look at though
