37 weeks pregnant and down there looks weird

As title. Not sure if it could be some kind of bladder prolapse? Never happened before! Is this a problem for childbirth? Will it make my bladder fall out?
Please some one tell me down there will be back to normal after? Probably had a lesser degree already but not sure.
No issues with sex or weeing, other than the usual preassure from the baby.

Weird how? It can look a bit puffy and swollen down there due to increased blood flow, but do you mean something is poking out? Worth asking at your next midwife appointment!

I'd give your midwife a call. If there is anything to worry about it's best to get it checked out now and for them to be aware what the situation is now.

I would call 101 for advice if you can't speak to a midwife.

It could be a prolapse if something is hanging out of your vagina. Your hospital just have a maternity assessment unit? Lots can happen in pregnancy so they will have somewhere you can go to be checked out.

It is at the top/front or back.bottom? Sounds like a prolapse.

Its possibly the baby

I had something similar, it felt like I could almost sort of tuck everything back in (sorry if that's TMI) Not anything obvious but not quite normal.

Midwife unconcerned and it went as soon as I had the baby. No lasting issues.

I guess perhaps just the impact of a big baby in my case.

I had the same, it was/is a bladder prolapse. Mine hasn't gone away, but some womens' do.

Not saying that's what you have of course, not a doctor!!!

kyiv · 06/04/2022 11:51

Sounds like it could be a urethrocele and sounds like possibly due to pressure from the weight of the baby

I must admit im pretty upset. Its fine if it stays as it is, but still have childbirth to go thru so not sure how likely that is. ☹️

It might be a vulvar varicosity (varicose vein). I had one. I wouldn't worry about it - it'll go when you have the baby.
