Swollen lymph nodes

kjacks6347

Anyone else have a problem where their lymph nodes under their armpit swells up? I hear this is pregnancy related. However, I want some reassurance that it isn't something else. It's about the size of a bean and it sore to the touch. I'm 15 weeks. Anyone else experiencing this or had it in a past pregnancy? I'm a FTM.

It happened around 12 weeks to me in my first pregnancy, but it was the lymph nodes in my neck.  I did go to the doctor, and everything was fine.  It was actually caused by a giant pimple (right on my face and another lovely pregnancy side effect).  So that was embarrassing, but I got an answer and didn't worry about it any more.  You might want to call your doctor just for the reassurance.

Definitely check it out, but normally the lymph nodes swell near the area that is effected. I'm pretty sure that's how my dr explained it. I think we thought I had a bladder infection and he said my lymph nodes in that area were fine. This was a couple of years ago so it's a little foggy! Lol
