Sure. Just because you are pregnant does not mean these glands quit working. Being swollen does not mean you are pregnant either. Lymph nodes swell because you have an infection not because you are pregnant. some infections can be serious while pregnant so get checked out by a doctor.

Can lymph swell when you have sore throat from cold?
More white blood cells are being produced. Because they multiply to kill large areas of the disease-causing pathogens. And your glands begin to swell painfully. ouch! /\ Close but no cigar. In order to understand why lymph nodes swell you have to understand what lymph nodes do. Lymph nodes act as a filter system for Lymph Fluid, or all of the excess fluid our body produces. Lymph fluid is responsible for carrying nutrients all over the body and delivering said nutrients through the blood stream. Lymph nodes filter out infections as they are carried by the Lymph fluid from one part of the body to the other. Lymph nodes are found in several places on the body, so as an infection tries to spread, using the Lymph fluid as it's guide, the Nodes trap the infection in an attempt to eradicate it. Once the infection has been trapped your white blood cells begin to attack it aiding in the recovery process. The bi product of all of the activity and excess infection in the nodes, is swelling or pain. The nodes themselves do not multiply, they are located in several areas throughout your body, the neck, the armpit, and the groin are the most commonly noted sore areas during a sickness. If you notice tenderness in any of these areas please contact your physician as it may be a sign of infection, or something more serious.
