Breast Changes and Lumps

I've read that towards 7/8 weeks it's common to maybe start to feel lumps or nodules in your breast and way more common later in pregnancy. I'm just 6 weeks today and started noticing these hard lumps closer to my armpits. I assume it's part of the hormones and I have my first US in 3 days so I can ask my doctor, but to ease my mind does anyone else have these lumps and are as early on as I am?

You have lymph nodes in your armpits, so my guess is that maybe those are inflamed. It is certainly worth asking a doctor about, but try not to be alarmed. Lymph nodes can enlarge for many reasons, including common viruses/colds.
