Hello,
It is unrelated to pregnancy and probably an infected lymph node or an abscess.
Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. An ultrasound scan is required in case of diagnostic confusion. Antibiotics has to be started to control infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
