anyone else experienced really bad swollenness down there? i didn’t have it with my first pregnancy and now im really bad. Im 26 weeks and already can barely walk because of pressure as well.
Im also experiencing slight pain during s*x because of the swolleness and certain ‘things’ hitting my cervix hard. I feel like i have prolapse thats how bad it feels! im slightly worried it is one but i guess its just the swolleness?

Could the swolleness be varicose veins? Witch hazel really helps if it could be!

Yes omg! I shaved the other day and I used a mirror to check I got it all as I can’t see past my belly 😅 and I noticed everything was very swollen and big. I’m now experiencing itching and soreness but I’ve been on antibiotics which can cause thrush so I’m wondering whether it’s that I’ve got maybe?🤷♀️ but yes I know what you mean xx

Yes!! This is my second pregnancy too and it feels completely different down there. Even sitting on the toilet feels weird x

Yes I’m exactly the same, could have written this exact same post myself.
Hope it eases up for you.
The pressure is horrible isn’t it.
22 weeks pregnant though.
Going to speak to the midwife tomorrow and ask about prolapse as I’m worried too! But equally know swelling and increased blood volume is expected but didn’t have any of this with my first either.
Don’t you just love pregnancy 😂
