Will.having an abcess under my arm harm my baby in.the.womb im 24 weeks pregnant?

Unlikely: An abscess is a localized problem, where the germs are contained within the rhine or shell like outer lining of the infection. To effect baby, germs must enter & travel in the blood, which is not happening. The doc can drain the abscess &/or treat with antibiotics that will be fetus friendly.
