I am 20 weeks and I am experiencing armpit pain. Will mention it to doctor/midwife if it continues.
Has anyone else experienced this?

i had this a few weeks ago... its partly cos your boobs are changing and the mammory glands go up into your armpits... i remember that bit from watching Embaressing Bodies when your checking for lumps.

Yeah I had it too a bit a few weeks ago (am 19 weeks now). Haven't had it for a while. I don't think it's anything to worry about - as lora says, I think it's to do with boobs and glands. Prob good idea to mention it to mw though just to make sure.

I've had it when not pg, and a sweat gland has become blocked, making a little scary lump in the armpit too (obv went to the doctor about it). Seem to remember having to avoid deodorant for a few days to get rid of it, and using some sort of cream (can't remember what)! Lovely!

Probably is boob related though as others have said, and not something to worry about. Worth mentioning it the the MW just for reassurance.
