Hi ladies. I know this may sound gross but im going to ask anyway. Im 37 wks pregnant with no. 4 and my vagina is so swollen and its very uncomfortable and sore. Has anyone else had anything like that and is it just due to pressure? Thanks.
 
  • Were your other births vaginal with stitches afterwards? I had the same problem with my second. Doctor said it was completely normal for things to be inflamed, and just to use a cool compress (not too cold!) when it became unbearable.
  • They were all normal vaginal births and i never had stiches with any of them. This swelling is becoming very unbearable, and the pressure is full on! I will definately try the cold compress. Thanks.
  • I am exactly the same I didn't want to ask because I thought I was just weird. So nice to know I'm not the only one. Sorry that you ate going through the sane pain though
  • Babe I only have one bub and had this at the end of my pregnancy with her. I asked my midwife and she said it has to do with how low bub was and the pressure she was putting down there. I also used a cool facewasher it help releove some of the discomfort. Hopefully you will get to meet ur bub soon and it will go all away x I also had a 9 pound baby so that also may have something to do with it....
  • Oh crap! I have always thought this little one was going to be a big girl, but now im really kind of hoping shes not!! Ive not had anything like this with the other 3. I just can't wait to have her, so all this goes away! Thanks for all your comments.
  • Any chance it is thrush?
  • i thought i was the only one lol all 3 of mine i had horrible pain didnt go untill i had bub but then the after shock of stitches didnt help. (due to 2 9 pounders and a 8 pounder) heaps of rest hun
  • Well im not itchy, so i am assuming it's not thrush, as i have had that before with my first child. I have an antenatal appt tomorrow, so will be talking to the midwife about it too.
  • I had same thing with 3rd pregnancy, u can get compression pants, like skins that help, but best way to ease throb and pain is the put feet up as often as u can .... I know, not that easy with other kiddos to care for, if it helps some it disappeared as soon as bub was born xx
