Lump on breast? Milk duct or something else?

I am nursing DD and was just massaaging my breast to get the milk flowing and it feels lumpy. I think I read that this is normal during breastfeeding. My breast was empty but is it possible I am feeling the milk ducts?

    Probably you milk duct.

    If it is going to freak you out, you can always call your OB.

    I wouldn't worry about it then, unless it starts to hurt and your boob gets super warm.

    I had a blocked duct from an uncomfortable nursing tank. THAT WAS AWFUL!!!

    If it doesn't go away, fibroadenoma are very common with breastfeeding mothers.  I have one, had to get a quick ultrasound to confirm what it is, and just have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't grow.  Two other women on the bump have had a similar experience.

    If it doesn't go away in a week, just make sure you talk with your OB!  Better to be safe than sorrry.
