Swollen Lymph node

Hi, I just need to put this out there as I have spoken to family members and they keep telling me there's nothing to worry about.

I have had a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck for about 2-3 months (that I've noticed anyway). I've had no infection or cold that I can think of and it's not huge but there is a noticeable difference in my left and right side. The only other symptom I would say is fatigue but this could be down to me also being 14 weeks pregnant! 

On top of this I've had two lots of bloods taken so far in my pregnancy and both times the nurses have touched my inner elbow and found a lump but just said ooo what's that but with no kind of concern. I'm wondering if this could also be a swollen lymph node? I personally can't feel anything there. 

I guess there is no real question it's more to get my thoughts out there and any support, experience or advice is welcome. 

Thanks :)

 

  • Hi kellie29,

    I can understand your concerns if you have noticed any changes that you're not sure about. The best thing would be to make an appointment with your GP, who will be best placed to advise.

    Hopefully by doing that you can get some answers and reassurance about this.

    Otherwise, if others have any similar experience to share then hopefully you'll get some more replies soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
