Can giving birth cause you to have swollen armpits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: I've seen a case where mom had some displaced breast tissue in both armpits that began to enlarge when she started to breast feed her baby.Made her quite uncomfortable till it faded when she stopped. I have never heard of it happening any other time.
