Question 3

hello dr during my 1 pregnancy i noticed swelling in my armpit my baby is taking breast feed and now i noticed swelling is decrease then before i feel?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question...: However, if a woman has swelling in her armpit area each time she has a baby and breastfeeds, she might have some extra breast tissue (milk-producing glands) in the armpit area. Her primary care doctor or her Ob-Gyn doctor can evaluate to see if that is the case.

Question 4

small red inflamed raised lump on breast, got big during pregnancy, it's been 8months since birth of my baby now it's bigger has veins from it ? had lumps in armpit too. fyi my mom has breast cancer.

Accepted Answer

Time to see doctor: Any mass found in a woman's breast should be examined by her primary care doctor. If cancer is suspected, special studies can be done. Treatment is more successful if a cancer is found earlier, rather than later. If the mass is found not to be cancer, the doctors will offer advice and treatment too.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Support Bra!: you must be referring to the axillary tail of the breast.
One thing that may help alot is right fitting supportive maternity bras:

wider straps
soft cups as opposed to underwire
cotton and breathable fabrics to keep you cool

Also:
loose fitting clothes
try cold compress over the area 
warm showers

Question 8

which arm
is accurate for measuring bp during pregnancy, there is a 10 point differnce in my arms, right says 110/70, left says 110/80?? please help!

Either Arm: It is normal for a little bit of variance between the 2 arms.  Both of those pressures are great.  Only thing I would do is be consistent and measure the same side each time.

Question 9

in my arm i noticed swelling during pregnancy.i feed my baby now i noticed that swelling is minimum but still it is visible.what should i do?

Not uncommon after p: Women frequently swell up during and after pregnancy.  They frequently lose a lot of that weight after delivery but not all of it.  When their arms swell they may develop carpal tunnel syndrome.  What you should do depends on how much things are bothering you.
