Question:

TMI, Please help me, 27 weeks?
I am 27 weeks pregnant and my vagina area is really swollen and tender. Kind of like after you have alot of sex, except I haven't had sex in weeks. It hurts to sit down. Is this normal, what can I do to soothe it?

Answers:

A-Best: I'm no expert, but i had a similar experience with my 2nd pregnancy - i had a condition called SPD where your pelvis separates, my pubic bone split with it but its healed itself now, which made my pubic area very swollen and painful, it made me feel like i had been kicked in the vaginal area, but it would be better for you to see your doctor/midwife as soon as possible as it could be something else thats the problem, but in the mean time, try warm baths, but not too hot. and try to rest as much as possible and take mild paracetamol, until you have a proper diagnosis, Good Luck, i really hope you get this sorted, as i know it can be frustratingly painful! x  

A: its normal. try some cool aloe or vagasil satin  

A: try an ice pack or something. i know it'd be cold lol but it might work. if its unbearable pain thought definitely call your doctor because it might be an infection or something more serious.  

A: Yes that's normal i had the SAME thing and its your vagina has more blood flow to that area and is VERY sensitive, causing the blood vessles to swell which makes everything swell. I promise its normal, if you hurt to bad go to doc. if you looked at my questions i asked the SAME THING lol
