It can happen, unfortunately.
What did the pead say about what are next steps, if any?

She may have AIS. You might want to google it.

Get a second opinion and work from there.

Baby girl's sometimes have swollen genitals at birth because of their mother's hormones, dd1 had a "period" after her birth. It may be that evetything will settle in the next few days. Have they said what they intend to do next?

Another one who's dd had a period. A bit of milky lactation too whilst I was breastfeeding. Our bodies do some weird things. All hormonal.

My DD also had swollen genitals, rather red, and a mini period when she was born. I was worried but reassured by doctors that this is normal. It all settled in a couple of weeks. Perhaps you could wait it out a few days before hitting the panic button.

Have you asked one of the midwives what they think the problem might be?

It may be nothing but it could also be congenital adrenal hyperplasia (my dd has it). Happy to discuss by pm or point you towards support groups if it is this.
