Swollen Glands Under Arms?

Hello!

I was wondering if any of you had trouble in your pregnancy with swollen glands under your arms?  I'm 37 weeks along, and I have a lump under one arm, center of my armpit that is pretty small, and tender to touch.  I've had it for awhile and keep forgetting to tell the doctor about it since it really doesn't hurt unless you touch it.  I figured it was a sweat gland and would go away, but it hasn't so far.

Now I noticed one on the other side that is the same place, pea sized.  This one is hurting a little more than the other.  Neither seem infected or anything, and you can tell they are there by just looking.  You'd have to palpate the area.

Does this seem normal due to hormonal changes/milk glands/ etc?

Sheri
