Sorry if this is too much information, but has anyone else experienced an achey, throbbing feeling right down low (the vagina basically) after sex whilst pregnant? I don't mean in the actual birth canal, but the entire external region- outer labia, perenium etc. Kinda like period pain. For me it starts about 10 mins after sex, and lasts for about 3 or 4 hours. I know there is increased blood flow down there when you are pregnant, and when I stand for long periods I experience the same aching sensation but milder.
Last time after we DTD it was so unpleasant, I had to lie down with my pelvis raised to nullify the throbbing. Its really putting me off DTD again.....
The thing is - I don't remember it being this extreme during my first pregnancy - could it be that the increased blood flow to the vagina is heightening past trauma to the area from my first birth perhaps?? I mean, it wasn't that long ago.....
