I have had really ugly varicose veins on my one leg since I was a teenager. I've learned to live with them, and I've been really thankful that they don't give me any pain, for the most part. However, there's a whole new type of varicose vein that I am learning about first hand. The vaginal varicose vein. They REALLY HURT!!! And I can't complain about them to anyone but you guys. It's just not the sort of thing you discuss over tea. Seriously, when I stand up in the morning, the general aching and pressure in my whole pelvic area is really painful. And the nasty veins down there feel like they're ready to pop.
So, who else is experiencing this joyous side effect of pregnancy? Do they get worse with each baby? Can we have a pity party together, please?
