Hello! I have noticed a lump in my calf that’s about to size of a quarter I would say. I noticed it in my last pregnancy about 3 years ago and it has grown since then. I have had an ultrasound, a CT, and an MRI. The ultrasound and CT came back stating nothing at all was there not even a lipoma and the MRI stated: “Mild focal prominence of the subcutaneous fat along the posterior aspect of the mid lower leg. This is favored to represent hypertrophied normal adipose tissue though differential would include poorly encapsulated lipoma. No suspicious features are identified.”

I’ve heard stories of people not having things detected on an MRI and only through biopsy. I am currently 6 months pregnant so that typically means people like to wait until after I give birth to do any further testing which I’m worried about.

Has anyone else experienced extreme anxiety while pregnant? I’m 20 weeks with my third pregnancy and mine has been OFF the charts. It happened in my second but manifested with health anxiety that dissipated after giving birth and becoming healthier after. Now it’s showing up as death anxiety (either having birth complications an something happening as this will be my third c section or just scared of what happens after death/dying early and not being there with my kids). I literally work in mental health and can’t seem to get it under control. Considering anxiety medications but wondering if anyone else experiences this while pregnant?
