29 weeks pregnant - lumps in belly

8 replies

I posted this in health but didn't get any joy so I'm hoping someone here will identify with this!

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and my bump is just starting to really stick out (has taken a while as I’m overweight)
When feeling baby kick the other day I also noticed a very slight lump under the skin about an inch above my belly button. Can just feel it from above but if I put one finger inside my belly button and pinch with my thumb I can easily feel it - it feels less than a cm below the skin, is at least the size of a large kidney bean and is attached to the (fat?) below/around it. When feeling around the belly button there is at least another similar lump below my belly button as well.
Think I’m going to try and see my GP but was just wondering if anyone else has anything like this & could reassure me a bit? I'm thinking I couldn’t possibly be feeling a lump on any internal organs or that I'm feeling the baby but my worrying brain is taking over! Thanks

I get this... I always just assumed it was a hand or foot or something!

I'm 36 weeks and I can feel my baby's head and butt very distinctly through my bump. It's all a bit strange!

I had this but the lump was higher up. I showed the consultant and he said it was a lipoma which is a benign fatty lump. I'd mention it at your next appointment just to confirm x

thanks everyone - I've got a consultant appt next week so I'll mention it just in case

I was going to suggest the same as Luna it sounds like a fatty lump.

BrutusMcDogface · 20/05/2018 21:21

Definitely mention it to the consultant. Hopefully it's just a fatty lump as mentioned above but I don't think it sounds like it could be baby's foot or anything Confused

Is it always there, in the same place?

littleneepo · 20/05/2018 22:12

Yep it’s always there, doesn’t move around unless I prod it (but then it feels attached to something and just goes back) so very surprised if is a foot! Just had a google of lipoma and looks likely

Did you ever get an answer for these little lumps. I’m 22 weeks pregnant and I have them too.
