Ridiculous FTM question

So in the mornings, my right nipple looks huge, not the areola but the actual nipple. It feels hard (not erect hard, just generally hard) to touch. This morning I was checking my breasts and the whole breast feels quite firm but no obvious pebble/lumps etc.

Is this a normal breast change?

Are you pregnant or has your baby arrived? It is normal for your breasts to feel hard when engorged with milk a few days after birth. What you describe can also be signs of infection/mastitis, but I dont think this is common during pregnancy. Is this your first baby?

@peamad I'm 20+3, first baby. Word a midwife call? Or GP?

Yes I would have a chat with your midwife. Breast changes are very normal in pregnancy but they should know if any of your symptoms warrant a GP check.
