swollen.. down there

[tellytubby]

The past three times DH and i have DTD my legs, bum and vagina have been really really sore and ache a lot. I just got a hand mirror to see what it happening, and i am extremely swollen and very.. vainy (like the vains look HUGE ) I looks very unattractive... to the point where i dont want DH to see it like that.

Is this normal?? I never had it with DD.. its kinda scary

im not much help but wanted to say and maybe it could be hemorrhoids i dunno or varicose veins down there im not sure but could be maybe.

Sorry hun, it's totally normally. I got so swollen, vainy and ugly down there when I was pregnant! It will happen to some women and not others. I'm sure your DH couldn't care less though.

sounds like varicose veins to me

Hey Telly,

just giving you some moral support, sounds like a terrible thing to discover lol..I remember reading a thread where someone refferred to their vagina as a "big purple hamburger" it made me laugh but I certainly wouldnt if I discovered it either

Im going to check now...

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!!!
