TMI- Swelling lady parts during pregnancy???

[tellytubby]

I also had this, it was so painful, in the end I would keep ice packs in my knickers
Was especially bad after some loving

Good thing, it went away almost immediately after birthing my son

Hang in there Hun

Pregnancy - it's a glamourous business, isn't it?

I had swelling and aching down there without any varicose veins - it felt like there was more blood pumping around that area and it seemed to be fuller than normal. But all went back to normal after the birth of DS.

Yeah i've just noticed that recently, no pain but the whole thing is like double the size it used to be . Must be all the extra blood and things my seriously it's a rude shock LOL

I have been through the same thing with my last 3 pregnancies and didn't know there was a name for it until now! (I'm 24 weeks pregnant atm with my 4th and didn't experience it with my first) I am so happy to hear that I'm not the only one going through this like I thought I was! Personally, it's worse after I have sex , even though it gets painful if I stand for long periods, and the swelling type feeling is always there no matter what I do! =( If I have to describe it, it's like my 'lips' are going to explode! (Sorry for the TMI lol) But thanks for the question, it's helped me a lot! And yes, I do have to agree that it goes away after birth!
