I had it with my second pregnancy too! Weird hey!! But it would come and go depending an a few factors, If I had been on my feet alot and sometimes in the hotter weather!!
My Ob said it was nothing to worry about, but to ease your mind maybe mention it next time you have an appointment.
Yep it happened to me too!! Its uncomfortable and not pretty but I didn't have any other issues becuase of it. And unfortunately there isn't anythong you can do about but mine did go away almost straight after giving birth!!!
yep, totally normal. Gets worse with each pregnancy too. Mine was really bad with Pg #4 - so much so the dr's were concerned when i was in labour that there was too much pressure on one of my veins down there....all turned out ok though....and yes it vanishes after baby.....
i had it with my 2nd and 3rd. vuval vacrose veins suck and yeah they look ugly, and are painful n itchy! (tmi looks like a whole bunch of blue/purple worms down there) what helped me avoid pain was avoiding dry sex, sitting on a ice pack (expecially after sex), avoid squatting. Very normal just very annoying... no cure you'l just have to wait until last couple of weeks preg, birth or a few weeks after birth its different for everyone and yes they get worse with each preg
wish you all the best!!
Thank you ladies, i'm so glad to hear that i'm not the only one with the problem. I'll talk to the doc next visit, but by the sounds of it there isn't much that can be done. Thank you again xx
hi tellytubby,
i experienced the same sort of pain after DTD on the weekend. thorbbing is how i'd describe it. I just figured its all that blood rushing around that area.
but one thing i've done to relieve my sore swollen bits is buy mens unides. after a week of stealing DHs i got four pairs of my own and wear them everywhere (except for work).
I just found the ladies undies very restrictive and cut into me but the mens has "ball room" lol just right for a preggie lady!
also glad to hear i ain't alone with this problem.although i seem to be not as far along as some of you other girls eeeekkk.
i have the same thing at the moment.
I also have hemeroids tho.. which are unpleasant. They arent bad at the moment, i got some meds from doc, but i have to be careful not to strain when on the loo and all that.
When DH and i DTD, afterwards, i get so swollen down there, and it aches and throbs i have to sit or lie down. It goes away after awhile, tho as you can imagine DH isnt gettin any where near as much as he would like
My doc said it will all go away, its just one of those joys
