Hey guys. Right weird question here but I need some help!! I'm 24 weeks now and notice when I sit down on the toilet or squat or anything that this area (will attach diagram) feels swollen? Or like something or protruding? I don't know exactly what I mean this is really hard to explain but any ideas or?😂🙈it's more just next to the vaginal opening (the sides) it just feels thick and squidgy like somethings there that hasn't been before?😂

Varicose veins? You can get them in your vulva in pregnancy.

@RefuseTheLies I saw that on google. Butt it's the whole area really left and right🙈only when I go to the toilet or squat down to do something snd then it stays for a few minutes then goes. It's like something is bulging either side? So strange and I can't find anything on google!

I had swelling there with our twins.
The weight of them reduced blood flow and caused the swelling, had really bad cankles in the 3rd trimester because of it too.

Ooh I have this on the left side. It’s starting to hurt when I walk now. I just did the hoovering and I’m a bit uncomfortable

Hi I'm 22 weeks and don't have any swelling, but I feel like I'm bruised in those exact areas you've circled, as if someone has kicked me in the crotch. It's been constant for almost 2 weeks now. Been told mine is SPD/PGP but it doesn't feel muscular or nervy and I have no other pelvic pain so it's weird. No words of advice other than to say you are not alone!
