Is it normal for a swollen lymph node in the neck to be painful even when not being touched such as when stretching the neck or leaning down?

Yes... Lymph glands don't just "swell" from filtering an infection out of the lymphatic system, they actually grow more cells and in-turn become larger in order to better combat the infection "poison"... They usually (slowly) go down in 2-3 months following the initial growth period. Turning the neck just puts "traction" on the swollen node, thereby stretching the pain fibers in the tissue of the node & surrounding tissue, causing the pain. Don't be surprised that the swollen node doesn't go away completely aftter everything has settled down... Often they'll be firm (scarring) and be palpable (able to be felt) for many years afterward... often lifetime.. Just make sure it doesn't keep getting bigger & bigger, and that you don't notice other swollen lymph nodes elsewhere!1 This can be something serious. See your doctor/PA if you notice this... ASAP!!

When will a pig show shes pregnant?
Sometimes the only way to tell in the first 2 months is that she will NOT go in heat. After that, she will be putting on very visible weight. Her tummy will start to head down to the ground, and her nipples will become swollen and larger. Before birth, she will get a type of 'shelf' below her swollen belly. Her nipples will become large, and most times, her milk sacks will show swollen and large. She may become sensitive to your touch on her tummy, either enjoying it more, or not liking it touched, at all.
