lumps/ knots under my skin..

Im 9 weeks pregnant. I've just noticed a lump/knot about an inch or 2 away from my hip bone, I know most people would suggest a cyst, but I've had a lot of those & it's no where near the same. I also found one about center with the bottom of my ribs & where they begin to open ( sorry I have no medical vocabulary ) neither of the 2 lumps/knots hurt, but once I begin to bend over & stand back up it feels like something it kicking me. Im pretty sure it's not the baby, because the baby can't kick that hard yet, nor can it kick the spots that are bothering me. Im not sure what to do, but my husband & I have decided to set up an appt, I would just like to know if this should be an emergency or to just see a family doctor? Also, what could cause this, or what could it be?

Btw- Both lumps/knots are rather large- maybe 3inches. ( just a guess )

thanks :)) i ended up going to the emergency room because the stomach pain got ridiculously bad. Thankfully everything turned out great! the baby is fine, & the heart beat is strong the lumps are just lymph nodes & they should go down soon!

for a just in case they put me on full pelvic rest..

I don't think it's an emergency but do set up an appt to see your dr

See a dr if you are concerned, but it might be nothing. I started getting lumpy all over when I fell preggo. Now at 22 weeks, I am lump-a-licous! LOL! :)

I know that pregnancy can cause lumps in the skin (especially in the breasts), but not sure about them being that big.  I would just talk to your family doctor and they can refer you from there.
