Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If the lymph nodes are of normal size—then the lump you are feeling could just be more fatty tissue due to pregnancy. It can even be a cyst—but again an ultrasound would have caught it.
Ask your doctor if any lump was detected or not. If there was none, then it is just fat mass. Do not stress about it much. This is a normal extension of breast enlargement in pregnancy. Take care!

ive had the same thing off and on for years, the only thing ive been told by a doctor was that sometimes the lymphnodes feel up and take time draining.  however i was never very reassured by that answer so i would love to know if anyone knows any different.
