16 weeks pregnant sore tender armpits

[Laddy321]

Hi I've had sore tender armpits (both arms) for about two weeks and it doesn't seem to be going away. I'm 16 weeks pregnant and have been a bit run down since it started. I had a sore throat and was fluish for 2 daysl over the last weekend which went but now the sore throat has come back. When I feel the armpits there is no distinct lumps and I also went the doctor yesterday who said he wernt concerned and he too couldn't feel anything. He said it could be hormones or muscular because the breasts get heavier but this hasn't reassured me. I'm wondering if I've overdone myself and am just rundown if it's pregnancy related or if it's something more serious. I can't stop worrying. Has anyone else experienced this in pregnancy?

Could maybe be your glands are up a bit ? Good that you have seen the doc - if you are still worried maybe talk to your health visitor, midwife or chemist ?

It's quite common to have some breast tissue in your armpits. This becomes more noticeable when pregnant, just as your breasts in general get bigger and more tender.
It could also be that you're a bit run down and have picked up one of the viruses going around.
See how you go over the next week or so. If you're still worried as you're not improving, then go back to your GP.

I had this in early pregnancy. Was nothing sinister

Thank you for your replies I am going to go back the doctors tomorrow just to get it double checked xx
