Hi I am 12 weeks with no 3 and I had a 3rd degree tear with ds 2. Various problems after but have learned to live with them as consultant couldn't find anything worng.

I am currently experiencing very itchy bits at the mo especially around my scar area. I don't think I have thrush as it seems very intermittent but very itchy when itchy iyswim. No smell, no discharge. I also have a tight feeling around the scar which I've never had before, could this all be due to the increase of blood flow??

Anyone else had this at all??

hmmm...might be talking out of my backside, but, I think it might be to do with the bloodflow to that area being increased in pg....

well...at least this is gonna bump it up for you!

was thinking it was the increase in bloodflow. Very uncomfy at times though

I don't remember having it with DS2 & DD.

No experience as I just have the one, but will try to remember about increased bloodflow if I have itchy bits when I have another!

I think maybe it's just my stange bits...

I absolutely HATE my car crash of a girlie bits area. Still if I mention it to a consultant they'd probably tell me it was normal!
