Here’s some information on picking up & holding cats:
Tip - 24 - Picking up a cat - How to pick up and hold a cat or kitten
In general it is best for humans not to pick up kittens before they are 2 weeks old. From 2 - 4 weeks old only brief handling is recommended, as this often puts stress on the cat and the mother. If you are trying to pick up and hold a young kitten you can pick it up by the loose skin or scruff at the back of its neck. This is how their mothers move them around. If done right, it won’t hurt them because they do not weigh much and their neck skin is really loose. Never pick up grown cats in this way because you can hurt them.
One of the safest ways to pick up a grown cat or a kitten, is to approach the animal from the side. Take one hand and place it palm up (or 4 fingers up) on the belly right behind the front legs. Then take the other hand palm up, cross over the cats back and place it under the cats belly in front of the hind legs. Then pull the whole cat close to your body.This gives the cat a lot of support and makes it feel secure.
Never pick up a cat by its tail or by its legs. It is dangerous to the cat (possible dislocation) and the cat can easily scratch you.
Don’t let young children (under 6) try to pick up cats or kittens, as their jagged movements are likely to startle the cat and they risk getting scratched. It is much better for an adult to pick up the cat and let the child stroke its back.

As Amycat said, also put one hand under the back feet as well as under the are pits.

With cats you just have to make sure to support their hindquarters as this is the heaviest part of the cat.
Pick the cat up with one hand under the ribcage and the other under the cat’s bottom or feet (as though it were “standing” on your hand) - NEVER pick up a cat just under the armpits and let the back end dangle unless it is a real emergency, this tends to put undue stress on the spine. The pelvis must be supported in some fashion however you do it.

i also think you should hold by armpits, but remember to hold back legs as well. i would also try cradiling her in my arms because i do that with my cats and they seem to like it

amycats answer is good, in my opinion i think you should pick them up under the arm area and hold the lower outside with your other hand.
