Anyone having slightly swollen lymph nodes in under arm? I woke up this morning and shaved...felt like razor burn but after feeling around, there are 1 or 2 small pea size lumps. Haven't noticed them before....this is the same arm as my carpal tunnel. Could there be any relation I wonder. I have a Dr. Appt on wednesday, will be mentioning it!

    I've never heard of that being a part of normal pregnancy. I would definitely bring it up with your doc on Wednesday. Hopefully it's nothing!

    Thanks @runningmama14‌. Have you ever heard of this in pregnancy at all? I Google it just to see what came up and I've read other woman posting about it happening - some things say hormones, some say could be bc the breast are preparing to produce milk or something along those lines.... or could be a skin irritation. Regardless I will have the doc look at it on Wednesday

    I remember my mom telling me this happened to her with her pregnancy a and the doctor told her is what related to milk production! Definitely bring it up at your appointment - just wanted to share what I know :)

    Lymph nodes can get enlarged for lots of reasons. Most aren't a huge deal, but some can be serious. If you aren't having any other weird symptoms or issues, I wouldn't worry too much and just ask your doc (especially since it's only 2 days away).

    I had an enlarged lymph node in the past that was deemed just random inflammation and was no big deal!

    Earlier in my pregnancy I found some small painful lumps in my armpit and of course it concerned me. I asked my OB and she said it was normal and probably just milk starting to produce. They went away. Mention it to your Dr to be sure though!

    Always have your doctor check out something like this - but this was another thing that happened to me in my first pregnancy, one pea-sized bump (made me so paranoid). My doctor felt it and said it was normal, especially in late pregnancy and followed after delivery.  It had disappeared by my 6 week post-partum visit.  So yes - it is possible that it is pregnancy related.  Try not to stress too much until your doctor check it out.  If I recall she said it was a swollen duct.  Ingrown hairs can also cause something similar.
