What Causes Swelling In Lymph Nodes During Pregnancy?

Hello. I am 17 weeks pregnant and since last night the lymph nodes under my neck have become more and more swollen. It is only on the left side of my neck. I have also lost my appetite completly since yesterday morning which is a first for me, especially now that I am 4 months pregnant. I have had my nodes swollen a lot before, but never like this. There is actually a throbbing pain and I have never felt them this big before. Should I go to the doctor or just wait it out at home and see if it goes away? Thank you so much for your help!
