Hi everyone,
I've found myself scrolling and searching for reassurance for a good couple of weeks now and decided to make a post of my own.
I am 29 years of age and I am 25 weeks pregnant.
For the last 5 weeks I have had redness/pinkness to my right breast - around the aerola and under the breast (it might be longer actually but I can't remember when it started as I initially assumed it was due to pregnancy). There is very slight redness on the left breast but it's barely noticeable and is much more obvious on the right one.
It's not itchy, doesn't hurt, no discharge, can't feel any lumps and no texture changes other than stretch marks underneath. The redness is less severe first thing in the morning.
I have been to my GP and my midwife who don't know what it is and I have been referred to the breast clinic, appointment is on Thursday.
I was really hoping my midwife would say this morning that it's normal for pregnancy but she said she's only ever seen it in post natal and that it's the right thing to go to the breast clinic.
I am terrified I have inflammatory breast cancer as I have stupidly been using Dr Google in my attempts to reassure myself. I am even more terrified as I am expecting my baby boy.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Thanks so much in advance x
