Hi Everyone,
As you can probably tell by my user name I am an extremely anxious person.
I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and in the past 10 days found a lump under my armpit. I've been to the GP who has referred me for an ultrasound. He wasn't worried and thinks because of its position its a lymph node. (Its in the quite deep bit of the armpit, sometimes I can feel it when my arm is relaxed and other times I have to put my arm above my head) so I don't know if that makes it "moveable" I can't grab it or pinch it.
Despite the GP not feeling concerned I cannot stop worrying.
I had a lump in the same armpit in my last pregnancy but that ended in miscarriage. I seem to think that the last lump was just excess tissue so I'm hoping it's the same tissue and hormones have "triggered it?" to raise again. I don't even know if that's possible? I tried to say to the GP maybe this is just a pregnancy thing for me but he just shrugged.
I'm so scared I keep looking at my daughter and wanting to cry at the thought of this lump being something awful.
I know that nobody has any answers only the ultrasound will tell, but I am so scared of the next 12 days of waiting. I us think I was so lucky last time what if I'm not again.
Thank you for reading.
