Hey, I've had something similar. Gp told me it was a globus : patient.info/health/globus-sensation-leaflet

It can be irritating but it never lasted more than a week or so for me.

I think another reason can be excess stomach acid causing irritation in the throat so using indigestion remedies for a few days might help.

If you are worried though, there is no harm and giving your doc a call so they can put your mind at rest. Hope you feel better soon.

I was going to say, possibly a side effect of acid reflux. Have you had much heartburn? Worth a visit to the gp I think Smile hope it's better soon x

I was thinking the excess acid thing might try some Gaviscon see if that helps xx

I don't get heartburn but get that lump feeling in my throat. Usually on a night if I'm hungry. I drink milk & it goes

Might be thyroid related, it can become enlarged during pregnancy. Deffo mention to your midwife.

My Dad gets this and has to take a prescribed antacid, he didn't take it last week and the lump came back. Worth a visit to the doctor.

I had a nasty sore throat with dc2, and after he was born, I found out my thyroid had stopped working properly, so perhaps that?

It could be a variety of things so worth letting a doctor look rather than the midwife. It's most likely to be acid reflux related but other possibilities are swollen epiglotis, tonsil stones or a cyst in your throat.

Did you ever find out what this was? Appreciate this post is old. I am 10w and have this and it makes me throw up so bad. I don't have it every day. Gaviscon/Rennies don't do anything for it.

I have had acid reflux for about 2 months, I am now 32 weeks pregnant my throat feels swollen, feel like there is something stuck in my throat. I am taking gaviscon and omeprazole 1 in morning u can get them from pharmacy, I need some other relief as I have got it so bad it's making me want to throw up.
