I had an antiD injection two days ago and this morning found two small lumps in my left armpit (same arm that I had the injection).

I cant find anything online that says it's s common side effect so was looking to see if anyone had personal experience?

Im thinking is it normal in pregnancy to get lumpy armpits (28 weeks) or should I Get myself to the doctors? 🤔

You can get swollen lymph nodes after having injections but if you’re concerned , then pay your gp a visit

Hello I am 21 weeks pregnant and a few days ago I found a lump where the base of my armpit meets my breast. It’s strange I can’t feel it from every direction it seems moveable kinda feels glandy. I also had a blood test at my consultant appointment due to feeling really run down I’ve had sinusitis and I had my whooping cough vaccine in the same arm. The blood test showed my white blood cells are very slightly elevated. I’m feeling really scared, I have an GP appointment on Tuesday. I had tried to get seen about it Thursday but the GP told
me to come back another day so I’ve been left in suspense all weekend. I have two little girls as well I’m so scared 😟 .

@Gardeninggalgal try not to worry - there are lymph nodes around the armpit area which would swell in response to an infection (sinusitis) and this infection would also account for your white blood cells being higher. I also believe that during pregnancy your white blood cells naturally elevate. I myself during routine blood tests in my last pregnancy was found to have a higher wbc than normal, but not so high that they were concerned, and after pregnancy they returned to normal levels

@Nomoreafterthisone i also get anti d, and I can’t say I noticed this side effect, but there are glands in the armpits and perhaps you have a mild infection you aren’t aware of eg mild cold or something but no harm getting it Checked if you are worried. It also could perhaps be an ingrown hair?
