Fibroadenoma

[AliSxo]

Hi, I've had a Fibroadenoma for about 9 years. It was small to start, last time it was checked in 2018 it had grown to 2.9cm and nhs wouldn't remove it unless it was over 4cm. This is fine, it was biopsied in 2018 and it isn't canerxois it's a benign lump. Being pregnant it does feel like it's once again grown which reading up online about; that's fairly common. However it's hard to check for any other lump with this big mass in the way! I've called my Dr who's referred me back for the breast clinic and likely I'll get an appointment in the next few weeks. I'm 31 weeks pregnant so even if it now is 4cm+ I won't have it removed and I'm sure they won't want me to until I've finished breastfeeding, certainly not one for when I'm still pregnant. Does anyone else have a Fibroadenoma in pregnancy? Xx

Me! Mine actually got smaller during pregnancy and then bigger during breastfeeding.
Hasn't bothered me but I'm definitely find it hard to 'self check' while nursing as boobs just feel lumpy

@Lisa78Lemon I know it's breast cancer awareness month I'm all for it but it is so hard to check my boobs when they're already fuller without any milk; just pregnancy alone is making them slightly fuller and then I have this lump there. I'm glad I've got the ball rolling I'm just worried incase there's something hiding I can't feel or I feel something I assume is the Fibroadenoma and it's not xxx no.1 worry guts here xx
