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.
