I have varicose veins of the vulva area which is causing me some serious swelling and pain. The ob was sympathetic but didnt have much to say other than to wear supportive underwear.
Vulval varicosities are swellings of the outer lips of
the vagina. They are caused by blood pooling in the veins, making them swell,
similar to varicose veins of the legs. Vulval varicosities can make the genitals
ache and feel sore and very 'full'. They do not cause problems for the birth process
and should disappear a few days after your baby is born.
I found this, so I know what is happening, however I cant squat at all without immense pain and going to the loo is painful let alone doing no. 2's.

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there who has had or has this pregnancy problem? How did you deal with it? Any hints to relieving pain etc?



Love
