What Causes Painful Swollen Gland In The Groin During Pregnancy?

Hi, I m 5 weeks pregnant and have an aching gland to left of my groin. I had this in my previous pregnancy at the beginning of the year, also around this time. I miscarried in later February (9wk 4days). Could this be a sign of things to come again? Or just a coincidence? I did cut my left leg shaving (about inch long!) a week ago, could it be this? I do have an appt to see my Doctor tonight so will mention this but your thoughts would be appreciated. Many thanks Lara

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.

The swollen gland is NOT AN INDICATOR OF PREGNANCY LOSS.

The accidental shaving cut could have caused an infection which in turn caused the inguinal lymph gland to swell.

Simple treatment with antibiotics will solve your problem.
