Pain in armpit?

[misse04]

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and have got a horrible pain between my boob and left armpit, has anyone else had this? Don't know if its another joy of pregnancy, I don't remember having it with my first xx

I had something like that. My right breast is more painful, including the tail that goes all the way up into the front of the armpit. Out of nowhere around 5 weeks my lymph node in the middle of that same armpit swelled up and made my armpit very painful.
I freaked out and went to a breast clinic. They did an ultrasound and said that sometimes the lymph nodes in your armpits react to everything that goes on with your breasts in early pregnancy. It can be totally normal!

The milk ducts go right round under your arms so it might be that.

Hi I am 12 weeks and my armpit hurts too! Hopefully it is the milk ducts

It's because your breasts are growing, changing, straining, the muscles are very near your armpits. It's just your body altering to the changes it needs to make

another possibilities is your lymph nodes(sp?). its possible you have an infection. check your temp.
