    Swollen throat due to pregnancy?
    I just found out that I am pregnant. I am 4 weeks and 3 days. For the past three days my throat has been slightly sore, but very sollen. It feels like I have a cold... but without any other symptoms except for the swollen throat. Is this normal during pregnancy, or am I just plain sick? Should I call my OBGYN?

    If the swelling in your throat is severe then go to emergency for it right away. If its simaler to something you had before at a different time then contact your obgyn and let them know about it. Since you are pregnant your hormones can caus things to happen that were not there before like allergies. Best to always see your doctor if any changes occur and to only take medicine that your advised to take.

    No, swollen throat would not be due to pregnancy. It could be due to thyroid and hormones because you are pregnant. I would see your doctor to have that checked out. It is important for your baby's development that you not have problems with hormones or your thyroid
