A bit TMI but anyone else have a swollen/sore vag third trimester?

Feels like my lips are puckering up for a kiss lol they’re swollen and it’s sore if I’m sitting for long periods of time or sitting on the toilet. Is this normal? Seeing my doc on Monday I’m gonna mention it but I didn’t have this with my first pregnancy. 😝

Lmao yea its normal im going thru it now too. This is my forth kid. Your vagina can bleed so easy. Your vagina can get hot and sweaty and more discharge now. If ur lucky like my ur pubic bone will hurt then u gota ice it.

Similar experiences except (tmi) when I wipe I guess I’m a little too sensitive now and easily bleed, not alot to notice but noticeable if your checking.

So I have been very swollen down there and the burning and pressure was so intense. My last appointment my OB says I have varicose veins emerging down there 😭😭😭

is your discomfort burning like an itching sensation? Because once in a while I get those same symptoms plus the itching but I informed my OB and she told me all tests came back negative for Utis etc. I was diagnosed first trimester with bruising near my placenta.

Yes that’s exactly it

yeah it’s the varicose veins and a weak pelvic floor. I had a vaginal birth with an episiotomy less than two years ago so my muscles are very weak
