Sore red swollen lady parts

Some swelling can be normal due to increased blood flow, but I’d get checked out as it could be thrush/a diff type of infection? You could give maternity triage a call to see what they advise, especially as it’s the weekend and it’s bothering you a lot x

Thanks bab. I did have thrush throughout my first pregnancy and couldn’t shift it😪 I’ll phone triage X

@Yasmin Kiri Candice Definitely worth getting checked because symptoms can vary! In the past I’ve had what you’re describing, but I went to triage with pelvic pain & bleeding when I was 20 something weeks they said it was thrush & I was convinced I had a UTI 😅 Pregnancy is 🤯 I hope you get sorted & get some symptom relief x

I’ve had the swollenness but no itchy vagina I find using an Ice pack down there helped. But defo speak to your midwife/doctor about he itchiness

I had this and it was thrus I’m a lot better now

Sounds exactly like I was and they tested me and it was thrush. Was so weird because I’ve never had the swelling etc. with it before.

Thanks ladies. Yes probably thrush .. I had it throughout my first pregnancy and literally no matter what I did it wouldn’t clear up which made labour experience more painful. Out of interest what cleared it up for you ? X

They gave me a tablet and some cream I’ve had it twice now and every time they helped me

@Yasmin Kiri Candice the over the counter cream/insert. Stings initially then it was all good until I got it again.
