@Sarah that’s good to hear they went away after giving birth. Mines are slightly bigger and puffy. Hopefully it goes down soon. Will do some tests if i can to rule out infection.
I was told it’s to do with your lymph nodes in your pits and your hormones going wild. I use cream deodorant too and that can block pores, add it all together and it’s a perfect painful storm. Definitely get seen to clear your mind and hopefully it vanishes when your hormones reset.
I have the same issue. Had ir before pregnancy and now during third trimester is a bit more painful and swollen. I am going to the breast doctor next week hopefully nothing but I understand this is scary and in my family we have history of breast cancer so a bit overwhelming — i think though it is pretty common and you should not be worried just check w the doctors again and get tested if that’ll help you feeling less anxious
Thanks a lot ladies. I saw my GP doctor today, she was very thorough with the examination and was very helpful. Reassured me that she doesn’t see anything alarming. To be sure she gave me the forms for full blood count tests so will do that also next week to have peace of mind.
I’ve had swollen pits with both pregnancies! Like pea sized sore lumps that last a few days till another one pops up. They vanished after birth both times xx
