36 weeks pregnant and v****a is SWOLLEN! Does it do that when it starts to dialate or is it ?

Question

just from all the pressure down there right now or what? I tried to look at it in the mirror the best I could and Its kind of red and a little itchy but I'm just wondering why this is. ..Please help :)

Answer 1

It's from the pressure. I was so swollen the last 2 pregnancies that I had like varicose veins down there that hurt really bad. The doctor told me to eat blueberries and I had to laugh at her because she just didn't get how bad it was. I am dilated to 4 and 60% effaced and have been for a week! I am not as swollen as I was before, and I think it was around 35-36 weeks when it happened, it did go away a lot, thank God. Just hang in there.

Answer 2

yes
