A member asked:
Can enlarged lymphnodes be brought on from pregnancy? my doctors think so but it sounds weird to me. some are pea sized others are bigger

Where: The location is important and r u sure they are lymph nodes? If a lymph node gets swollen in pregnancy it's not a big deal. I have never heard that pregnancy causes enlarged lymph nodes nor has this been something I have seen clinically. If u r feeling ok anyway i would not over worry.

Lymph nodes: It depends on where the lymph nodes are. If they ar under your arms, is it from shaving? Check your breasts for masses. If they are in your groin, they can similarly be caused by shaving with a not so clean razor.
