Stabbing pain in left labia. 37+3. Possible whinge and overshare!

[jstock]

Ok. Sorry to talk Vaginas.
I'm 37+3 with my second baby. For the last 2 weeks I've had a stabbing pain in my left Labia Majora, worse at night time and has had me in tears a couple of times. Wakes me up in the night. Saw the midwife on Friday who said it might be a varicose vein, she didn't have a look but said there was no point as they don't treat them anyway and the pain should shift as soon as lo arrives. ( no doubt it will pale into insignificance while lo is arriving!!) just after someone to tell me I'm not alone and is there anything I can do to ease it fir the next couple of weeks.

I know nothing about this kind of thing, but I a woman in my office was getting weird stabbing pains that turned out to be nerves getting messed around my pregnancy. She saw a chiro who realy helped

Had a vvein there myself, same stabbing pain you describe, it's horrible. Ice if you can stand it might help a bit. I've been careful with trying not to walk,carry things too much etc (almost impossible with 5 children) but it does seem to have eased right of. I'm really hoping that a few weeks after the birth it disapears all together but will have to wait and see i guess. I'm 34 weeks at the minute.
Someone might come on with something in the way of actual advice shortly but you're not alone in suffering
take care.

Thank you! I'll give anything a go, and keep praying for an early arrival

If you can understand that post anyway? A woman in my office was being hurt by nerves that were messed up by pregnancy.
So far I haven't had any problems ... but am seeing the chiro regularly anyway!
