Pregnant And Found Lump Underarm
Posted: 06-18-07 08:43am

i am currently 37 weeks pregnant and i just found a lump underneath my arm this morning when i was shaving and it was not there yesterday. its soft and big. it hurts if you press on it hard but other than that i dont feel any pain. Last week i started getting a rash in between my legs and its painful to walk. i put diaperrash cream on it and its starting to feel better. also i have found a total of 5 or 6 new moles. 3 are underneath my left breast and one is on my stomach and i found one near the rash on my inner thigh. the lump is on my right armpit. im waiting to hear back from my obgyn...anyone have a clue as to what it could be.

It could be an infected hair folicle. I don't believe the moles would be connected to the rash and the lump under your arm.

Good luck at the doctor. I'm sure everything will be just fine!

hi...if the lump wasn't there yesterday and just appeared over night, I wouldn't worry about it. It is probably a lympnode, or a cyst.

trust me, I am the paranoia queen. I have gotten them before, and like you i automatically think they are cancer.

at your next prenatal appointment...just let them know, and I am sure that they will reassure you they are nothing.
