TOTAL *TMI* lump on valva

[Silver Bell]

now a little worried.... I must have 'rubbed' it too hard when I was cleaning down there in the shower... it started bleeding and hasn't stopped since... I didnt realise it was bleeding until I got out of the shower... I panicked thinking it was the bloody show or something... then realised where the blood was coming from... now my liners are being used for something else because it wont stop bleeding...

do you think it could have been a varicose vein that has 'popped'??? so worried now!

I'd be ringing your m/w or maternity ward. It's probably nothing, but it should be checked out.

I heard that varicose veins are really painful?

well since it has been aggrevated it has been painful... I have an appointment with my OB on Wednesday... or do you think I should call through before?

[Charlotte91]

Is it still bleeding?
If yes, then yes.

I can't hurt to ring. Maybe even Nurse on Call has an idea?

[Silver Bell]

it kind of bleeds when pressure is put on it, like I walk around for ages...or put pressure on my legs like bending etc... but your right I should call now... it could get infected!

Good luck, keep us updated!

Thanks Charlotte91 I rang my midwife and she said as long as its not looking infected or bleeding constantly then she is happy for me to wait till Wednesday to get it checked out by my OB... she seems to think its a pimple but there is no puss (sorry gross I know) so fingers crossed its nothing... heres to hoping....just when I thought I was getting through my third tri with nothing to really concern me... I spoke too soon!
