This may sound disgusting BUT my vaginal lips have recently felt a bit itchy and big!! When I looked in the mirror tsb them they looked a lot redder and plumper than normal? I mean lips down below not facial ones!!!!! Anyone else

Mine did that when I was pregnant, was a bit disconcerting. Don't think I did anything about it & they did return to normal.

I sometimes think mine are too as things feel more 'snug' down there these days, especially when I'm walking Grin

I won't be using a mirror to check though, I prefer to live in blissful ignorance and imagine things are just as lovely down there as they were pre- pregnancy Grin

It'll be either thrush or just because your blood volume's increased.

Don't worry, they'll shrink back to normal eventually.

Yep my labia feels strange. It did last time and returned to normal!

Yep!! Mine feel very different! Like swollen and hot! It started when I was about 20 weeks and has continued on and off. I'm now 27+6 and the feeling is still going strong!

Joy!!

Could be thrush?

HotCrossPun · 25/01/2014 15:21

If they are itching it could be an infection or thrush. Get it checked out.

And don't worry about 'TMI' your vulva is just like any other part of your body.

Any varicose veins down there? One of those less talked about pregnancy troubles!!!

MrsHY1 · 25/01/2014 18:18

I had this, accompanied by itching, turned out to be thrush Shock

Jellybellyrbest · 26/01/2014 08:47

I have this & in my case it's lovely vulval varicose veins. Not. Can no longer wear jeans & sometimes feel like I need to walk like John Wayne. Did go afterwards last 2 times but has gotten progressively worse each time & I have symptoms again around the time of the month (only had 2 periods after stopping BF last time before I got pregnant again though-oops!).

Not sure if I dreamt this or read it but here goes...

Panty liners in the freezer stops the tingly feeling (allegedly....like I said could have been a mad dream or fact Grin )
