Dear Expert,
Two days back, after checking my urine and blood, my doctor confirmed that I am 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I was extremely happy on hearing this. But now I do have another important concern and I somehow skipped asking this to my healthcare provider because I was so excited after hearing the positive result. I have not always been too keen to notice about the changes in the body until I suspected that I might be pregnant and last week in the night when I was trying to sleep (was lying down on my left) I felt a sudden pain under my left armpit and since it was unusually painful, I went to the mirror and had a look at it and noticed that the shape as compared to my right side looked as if it was swollen, though I'm not sure how the shape looked before. I was horrified, but I tried to calm myself down thinking that may be it's just a muscle pull or a symptom of pregnancy. The swelling and pain persists till date and when I feel the swollen place I feel like the mucle has swollen like a small, round lump as compared to my right under armpit. I have tried applying pain relievers, but in vain. The swelling is exactly in the joint where the armpit connects with the breast. I have also been having sore breasts in general. We don't have any breast cancer patients in the family history and I am now 25 years. I don't smoke or drink. And my physic could be termed as 'slim' and I have an ideal height and weight. Please tell me if this sounds normal and help me out of this terror so that I could really enjoy my pregnancy without any hard feelings.
