Hi there, this is is my first post. I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby and also happen to be a bit of a hyperchondriac!
My right breast is slightly bigger and a little lower than my left, not loads and always has been but perhaps it's more noticeable now because I'm pregnant. I suppose because it's bigger it also feels heavier and the tissue a bit denser. There aren't any discernable lumps as such - just the normal ridgy breast tissue on the outside which I can feel in the same spot on my right but just smaller.
I first went to the doctors to get this checked out about 4 or 5 years ago so it's nothing new but lately I've become obsessed with it! It's really getting me down and I can't stop prodding my boob and getting my partner to do so (he agrees that the tissue on my right breast is just more dense). Both breasts feel a bit tender but the right more so. I think I'm probably more hyper aware because I know a few women who are unfortunately going through breast cancer treatment at the moment.
Sometimes on good days I think that surely if I went to the docs about this years ago then it would be obvious by now if anything was wrong then I think oh my god, what if I go and something's wrong and it's been there all this time! Sorry to go on - I just wondered if anyone else had a similiar experience. In my rational state I know that it's common to have breast differences but then I get myself worked up and spend hours upon hours googling and getting myself into such a state. I'm so excited to have my baby and feel like i'm ruining it for myself. I have a midwife app on Monday so will obviously talk it through with her.
Thanks so much in advance for any thoughtst! X
