Hi, im 27 weeks and the swollen armpit has reappeared even bigger. Gp wasnt sure what it was and just said its breast tissue but this time it's a little painful. Anyone had this?

I have had similar previously, when not pregnant, and was told by my GP that it was glands.

I've suffered with this for years. I have been to the doctors about it etc. I have stopped using anti-persperant because it was clogging up my pours. I now use deodorant from holland & Barrett. It's your bodies way of telling you it needs to breathe

I always get this when I'm pregnant. The glands swell and make them noticeable to me, I can feel they are swollen as normally I wouldn't feel them. It's one of the first signs for me that I'm pregnant. I'm 20 weeks and can still feel it, sometimes it's a bit uncomfortable but it doesn't hurt. Just your bodies way of reacting to your pregnancy I guess? Xx
