Im 34+ 2 weeks and I’ve been feeling very sensitive down there recently. I sometimes get swollen and also a bit itchy at times, and my vulva became inflamed almost overnight. I am with the father of my baby, and we live together. Earlier he tried to go down on me but I was very sensitive and kind of swollen. It felt uncomfortable. I don’t have any STD’s or STI’s and this is my first pregnancy. I’m wondering could it be a yeast infection or something else? I’m scared and I do have an OB appointment this coming Tuesday, so I’m going to mention it to my OB. But I am nervous about it and it is uncomfortable. It doesn’t happen every day, but some days it just flares up like this without any sexual intercourse at all. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? The last time I had an appointment, the doctor said I have a bit of discharge, but that everything seemed normal down there. I’m just confused and a bit nervous. Can anyone help?

Mine is starting to feel swollen and tonight it’s pretty itchy.

Definitely sounds like a yeast infection you should tell
Your dr to Swab you & go sit in a cool luke warm bath for 15 mins & sleep
With no undies let it breath n don’t put any scented soap there also ask her to test for BV

Yeah sounds exactly like my symptoms before I cured my yeast infection as well do what sheikess said but you can also add baking soda, epsom salt, and a cap full of vinegar make sure you do kegals in the bath

sounds like a yeast infection … definitely talk to your doctor because it won’t go away until you get on medication. i had a combo of both a uti AND yeast infection because i would have excessive uti’s and yeast infections (had 5 before i got the combo) and i would have excessive discharge as well and my doctor put me on a nightly low dose antibiotic and my discharge has decreased LOTS and i haven’t had any uti’s or yeast infections since.

Ive been swollen and itchy for like 2 months now, no yeast infection. Pad ice packs and a hemorrhoid pillow at work helped me!

I had BV, took anti biotics and cure swap came back clear but I still have the swollen, itchy when you touch it vag, it’s fine if I’m like carrying on with my day it’s only when I touch it to go wee act, but then I also gave it to my husband when I got told the cure swap was fine we had sex again but then he got it, had to get cream. But my swabs still coming back clear so dr told me it can be the bloods vessels down there being swollen due to pregnant, I’m 29 weeks 🤷🏻♀️
