    hi there!
    TMI but yeah it happens, happened to myself.. i had one that would kinda hang out... it has gone away since tho best thing i did was sleep on my left side.
    I have read a few things that during labour the pressure of the babies head will drain the blood away from the area. (dunno the truth to that)
    i was also pretty constipated at the same time and had the 'cauliflower' butt going on too (tmi sorry) so i increased fluids and fibre in my diet. Took some extra naps at that time too as i had no energy.. Went without sex for awhile..
    ive also read that if you wear fitted support stockings it can help but something you would have to talk to your GP and/or chemist about.. (i didnt)
