well, i'm glad that this is normal - i was beginning to worry!! it's not one of the symptoms that they seem to discuss in the PG books that i have and i was beginning to wonder what the hell was happening to my usually neat little package!!
i'm only 23 weeks and am already really swollen down there, and have a severe case of "monster flaps" (LOL Sammi-j!!)... better not continue to swell for the next 17 weeks or i won't be able to walk by the end of it!!
my DH thinks it's most amusing!!
