Underarm Lymph nodes

Okay, this may sound pretty weird but here goes....

When I use to get AF, my lymph node in my left underarm would swell up a little bit and be a tad bit sore until AF was gone for the week. I had gone for ultrasounds for it b4, they said it really was nothing. Just my body responding to the hormones around AF time of the month.

Now that I am PG, its not painful, but it definetely is swollen and seems to feel a little bit larger. Its not bothering me at all.

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I have an appt on 9/25, so i will def. mention it to my dr.

But if anyone has experience, please let me know.

thanx

YES! I just noticed the same thing on myself too! I also got the swelling around AF, so I guess it is normal.

This happened to me too when I ewas PG-I think it is hormones

I'm so glad I found this!

I've been having such pain under both my arms and the left one is so swollen DH could see it across the room.

Of course, I looked it up on the web and in my pregnancy books and it warns about lymphoma and breast cancer, so I freaked out last night.

It's good to hear it's pretty common.

I had it with my 1st pregnancy. Not with this one so far, but it was VERY painful the first time!

It doesn't sound weird at all, in fact that used to happen to me years ago. However, I never experienced anything like that when pregnant, I'd ask your doc. Feel better!
