Lumpy/ veiny/ swollen vulva?!

Hey ladies,
Anyone experiencing anything similar? This is my second pregnancy, 26+3 and I think I have some varicose veins on my vulva. When I stand, the whole area feels so swollen and tender. I can see some bulging veins but one presents as a lump looking thing but disappears when I'm sat down so I'm sure it's also just a vein. I'm not sure if this is common or not so just seeing if anyone has had similar symptoms? Also had a few tender lumps on my outer labia which feel like spots but just won't pop!Hmm Thanks in advance x

Hi Kate,

I had this when I was pregnant. I couldn't find much online about it but apparently is due to extra pressure from the baby. I had a bikini wax when I was 39 weeks pregnant too and it didn't seem to cause any issues. It also completely disappeared after my baby was born, just to reassure you! Best of luck with your pregnancy Smilex
