All day yesterday I was having bad pain whenever I inhaled, so I figured it was a lung problem. I also cant lift my arms up, twist my torso, or stretch in any way without pain. I had DH check last night and I had a lump maybe the size of a nickle underneath/inside my boob, right on top of a rib. It's not fixed, it moved around when palpated. I also start leaking a lot if I mess with it, so I assume it's a milk duct..?

Well after a night of hell between the pain from this lump and my hips, I decided to check it again.. it's the size of a ping pong ball tthis morning. If I press it, I again start leaking from that breast. Both boobs are rock hard today, almost an engorged feeling - OUCH.

So.. if I can manage to find my pump, would you suggest trying to pump a little relieve the pain?.. I know you aren't "supposed" to pump before baby is born (38w3d), but I'm hurting so bad that I can barely function without whining to my husband. IDK. Any input would be appreciated. :(

Maybe manually express in a hot shower, see if that relieves it?

I think you would be ok...and who knows maybe it will get that little girl out! It sounds almost as if maybe one of your milk ducts is clogged or too full and needs to be released... maybe pump and save it for baby if the milk looks healthy.

I would, but I'm prone to clogged ducts and those suckers are really painful.  =(

Get a second opinion just to make sure its pregnancy related and not a cyst or tumor of some type. I found out I had a tumor in my left breast but it was benign. I gotta keep an eye on it after I give birth but I may just have it removed if it does not go away.
