Swollen, so swollen...

Hi all,

FTM here!

I'm 36+5 today and baby has been head down, partly engaged since about 32 weeks. I have noticed that I am super swollen 'down there' - like the whole area and it's super uncomfortable! Any reassurances or tips to help with discomfort?

Thanks x

I'm 30+3 and for the past couple of weeks I've been feeling a little swollen and uncomfy! I googled it last night and I think weight of the uterus and extra blood flow were to blame. Any advice welcome!

I'm only 24.5 weeks but have the feeling today that everything is swollen too! I was actually just googling it - lots of articles saying it's very common in 3rd trimester due to the weight of the baby, increased blood flow etc. Not sure why I've got it already though 🙄
