I’ve had a swollen lymph node in my neck for approximately three months - it became noticeable shortly after we found out we were expecting. My husband and I did some landscaping and I planted flowers - I wore my gloves, but I don’t think I wore them the entire time. We have had it scanned and it came back as normal, but it makes me nervous that it hasn’t gone away. Our baby is 15 weeks and has a wonderful heart beat - but I can’t help but worry about him.

We had blood work drawn and my IgG came back negative - meaning I have no immunity or have had no exposure to toxoplasmosis. But we are waiting to hear about my IgM to find out if I’ve had an acute exposure. I’m praying that I haven’t and that our baby is perfectly fine!

Has anyone else experienced swollen lymph nodes in their neck when pregnant? This is our first child, so I’m just freaking out.
