DD is 2.8, and she's come home from nursery with a very sore looking vagina. Obviously I don't mean internally, but I guess the "entrance" area, as well as part of her labia majora. She was very upset when I changed her nappy, but is fine now.
Is this common in small girls? I'm having all sorts of horrible worries about it (I was the victim of sexual abuse as a child). This is going to sound odd, but when she was tiny, you couldn't really see labia majora, and I just assumed that it stayed that way til much older. I'm a bit freaked out that it's more developed than that now, and I guess that I'm really concerned that something has happened.
I'm praying that I'm being illogical and that it's perfectly normal. Would love some reassurance.
Should note, absolutely zero reason to suspect that she is anything other than 100% safe at all times.
