Pea sized lump on vagina (labia majora)

Has anyone experienced this during pregnancy?

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and noticed pea-sized lumps on my labia majora (the outer lip). It isn’t huge, but it hurts more when I’m standing or walking than when I’m resting. I don’t have a fever or anything else concerning, just the painful lump.

Has anyone had something similar? What did it end up being, and did your OB have you come in right away or tell you to monitor it? I’ll be calling my OB tomorrow, but I’m curious if anyone has gone through this before.

I had something similar happen at the beginning of my pregnancy… it went away on its own before I had my next doctors appt so they didn’t even address it

I have something similar but I havnt thought anything of it. It doesn’t hurt or anything. I thought it was just like a skin tag or a mole type of thing

I guess it could be like an ingrown hair. I think I have had that before and it happens every so often like if I shaved or if I had sex and it got rubbed a lot

Try warm compresses. I get cycts a lot in that area (just prone to it and it runs in my family to be) and it sounds like it may be that. Def mention to your OB either way, but try that in the meantime for some relief and to see if it helps it go down on its own.

Not a pea sized lump but I had something called a bartolin cyst during pregnancy (not sure how to spell it) and that thing huuuuuuurt. It popped one day and omg the relief 😅

Are gender scans worth the money

I think £75 is a lot of money to find out the gender before the hospital appointment but when you find out through the hospital it’s a annoying they can’t write it down just in case they get it wrong

Do you think it’s worth finding out?

Keep trying or leave it

When pregnant with my now 10 month old a friend of mine was pregnant but 3 months behind me . She ended up having a late miscarriage or I’m not sure is it classified as stillborn . She was approx 21 weeks ( anatomy scan ) and had announced it to everyone . We don’t live too close so sympathising was though a brief phone call and messages . Since this she has not connected with me . It’s been over a year . I have messaged her 4-5 times since her miscarriage and I’ve left space between the messages and left them open to reply to or let her know she can take more time . However she either likes the message ( just once ) or reads and ignores it . I sent one last week which was left on read . I just tell her how much I miss her and that she’s always on my mind . I never mention my baby . Do I just leave it at this point . I know it was a difficult time for her and she went ghost for awhile . We had been excited to raise babies close in age . Any advice ? She was a good friend not a best friend but I would see her a few times a year and text often and we were both married which is something not many of my other friends related to .

Pregnant after emergency c section

We just found out we are pregnant and I am so so happy! We did have an emergency c section after a failed induction in Sept of 2025.

All in all my recovery was good I was running and lifting by 12 weeks and I have healed one thing I have not anticipated is the mental aspect of the c section. I am worrying at night now about it.

How did you handle the pregnancy after an emergency c section?

Pregnant at 4 months pp

Just found out I am pregnant at 4 months pp🫣 I’m not shocked to be honest but I am at the same time if that makes sense! Looking to see if anyone has the same kind of age gap that my 2 little ones will have? So my little one isn’t even going to be a year old by the time her little brother/sister is here. Not looking for judgement just looking for advice and what I need to be prepared for ect… thank you :)

Glucose results

I’m sooo irritated maybe thinking irrational idk. So today I took my glucose test, I’m currently 16 wks. The results just came back it’s 180. Like wtf beside coffee I had yesterday afternoon I only drink water. I blow thru a half a gallon a day sometimes a lil more. So I’m like how was my numbers high like that?!? I don’t even remember what I had for dinner last night to be able to say maybe that. This am I didn’t eat nothing and after my appointment I crash. I always do. I start my job Monday and I know they bout to try to get me to do another appointment 3hrs long. Then between 26&28wks do it again. I’m not bout to lose this upcoming job I’m a single mom with 3 babies been living off my tax money that’s running out. Haven’t worked since I found out I was pregnant in May. stomach virus activated my pregnancy symptoms in hd. I’m 37 years old I know I’m high risk they made a point of telling me but if I don’t start this job we will be homeless money is running out. I’m questioning if my stress levels have anything to do with my numbers being elevated but I doubt it. I just need some advice please. I’m rambling cuz I know I’m going to refuse it and say wait til my 26-28wk appointment which will give me time to be able to get my schedule where I’m off on Wednesdays so I can be home sick af. Never experienced this before with my boys I’ve had issues with intaking sugar and with this pregnancy it’s the only boy symptom I’ve been experiencing but she is a girl confirmed by nipt and ultrasound. I’ve never been a sugar girl I love salty stuff so im just 🤯
