Hi,
I have developed a vulval variscosity and have been told by my ob that although they can be painful it wont affect anything else to do with the baby. My mother is a miswife and has told me they can rupture, with a greater chance of this happening at delivery. has anyone else had any experiences with this?
Peta.
Hi Peta,
Welcome to the wonderful world of vulval varicose veins ;) Not fun really. This is my fourth pregnancy and fourth experience of having one. Not impressed! I have laboured naturally with three of my children and haven't had a problem. My ob is aware of it and hasn't told me about it's potential to rupture, which I imagine has happened but probably in extreme cases where there is excessive weakening of the vessel. I know of others also with this condition who also haven't had any probs in labour. Just during the pregnancy...ouch!
Hope you feel relieved....
