What Causes Swollen And Sensitive Underarm Lymph Nodes During Pregnancy?
Hi, I'm 7 months pregnant and have had swollen, sensitive underarm lymph nodes throughout my pregnancy. When I was a teen, these lymph nodes would get sore when I would get my period. Now, they are pretty swollen and tender. Is this a common pregnancy-related symptom? I'm 31, 5' 5" in height, 182 lbs (160 before I got pregnant). I have endometriosis, which I'm not currently suffering from during pregnancy.

Hello, it is uncommon in pregnancy unless you have tuberculosis or some other nearby infection.
So test for mantoux and see the results.
