39+1 and my labia are SO swollen. No soreness or itchiness but my god it is uncomfortable. Seems to have appeared overnight. Any suggestions?

It’s normal particularly towards the end of pregnancy, I’ve had it both times.

I had that. You could try chilling a gel pack or freezing a sanitary pad and putting it in your underwear.

Happened to be both times I went into labour.

Yeah I got that both times. And although it went down, they never went down to what they were like before .

I'm 37 weeks currently and have that now! Started a few days ago!

Thanks all - glad it's normal and not just me! Hope its a sign of labour!

It's usually caused by the pressure of baby reducing blood flow.
Try laying down more, always a winner lol
