Every now and then I have a prod and they always feel a bit lumpy and bumpy, am just hoping that if anything ominous ever turns up it will be obvious. I am currently 34G, but hope to be back to 34D soon as have just finished breastfeeding. So at the moment mine are horribly lumpy but at least that will pass soon.

Nurse at my GP surgery showed me on a fake breast! It's quite handy, as there are lumps in it, and you have to try to find them all, so you get a good idea of what the lump might feel like.
