Any advice ?
I hope I’m not alone in this but I’m 24 weeks pregnant and for about a week now I’ve got swelling down below. It’s uncomfortable and sensitive and Im not sure what I can do to make it feel any better. My midwife said it’s because of increased blood flow and hormones and it can cause down below in our private area to swell. I’ve tried warm water and not wearing underwear but nothing is helping

I always get this during pregnancy. Week 24/25 seems to be one of the worst points, I’m 26+5 now and it’s gone down considerably and definitely not as uncomfortable as it was last week. Honestly I forget it happens every pregnancy and freak out about it but super normal. I just wear my huge granny underwear so everything’s covered up and it settles when it settles which I know isn’t necessarily the most reassuring thing to hear x
@Bethan I’ve used sudocream and it takes the edge of a bit but then say if I go to the toilet and wipe it gets really sensitive all over again 😩
@Gemma I’ll have to try that too. I hope mine goes down too 😩
Ive had this and i put some metanium on before i went to bed which i found helped
