Pain in armpit at 39 weeks

[SleepyFergus]

Hi, looking for some advice. I'm 39 weeks pregnant and have woken up this morning with a sore armpit on the right side. I can't feel a lump, and there's no obvious signs of an ingrown hair.

I wondered if this might be something to do with my milk gearing up to come in? I bf last time with no real issues, so this is new for me!

If it is a blocked duct, what's the best action? Heat (hot water bottle?) and massage?

Thanks for any advice!

Or it could just be that you are feeling a bit run down- and it is a raised lymph gland.

I get that now and again (I am not pregnant). It is just like when you feel a bit off, and get raised glands at the sides of your neck.

If you are really worried then ring MW/GP - but I bet it will be gone within a day or so.
