Swollen lymph node? Is this a pregnancy symptom?

[scoobydrlp]

So earlier today I noticed a little discomfort in my right armpit, and a slight swelling, which I figured was just an ingrown hair or something. This evening the pain is more noticeable, only when touching it or moving in a certain way, but the swelling is a little more pronounced and it is somewhat pink/red. It is actually just outside of where any hair would be growing and now I feel it is unlikely to be an ingrown hair.

Has anyone experienced this, or heard of it as a pregnancy symptom? I don't know for sure that it's a lymph node, but after ingrown hair it's the next thing that comes to mind. Should I be super concerned and rush to the doctor, or is it safe to wait a day or two to see if it progresses or resolves?

I have a swollen lymph node in my right armpit also! It was swollen my last pregnancy and mentioned it to my doctor. He said it was just the hormones making it swell and that was that. After my pregnancy it went back to normal. This time it is swollen again. I mentioned it to my doctor (different one) and she said the same thing and said even if it was something more, there was nothing they could do until after delivery anyways. I think just to be on the safe side I will have it looked at after delivery although I am confident it will be back to normal.

The fact that it was red and sore makes me think it is probably a puss-filled cyst (how lovely!) I had one about a year ago and the dpc said it prob would go away by itself nut gave me antibiotics just to speed it up x
