Severe pain and swelling "down below" 27 weeks

[Saraahh]

Hi, sorry this post may be TMI but I reallyyy need some help with this and to see if anyone else experienced the same!

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and my down there area is severely swollen, red and painful! It's been a few days now and just getting worse :/ I don't have thrush or BV or anything so infections are ruled out... It doesn't LOOK like varicose veins but it feels really hard and firm :( It gets so painful if I'm walking or sitting in a certain position. There's not really any itching either just soreness!

Has anybody else experienced this?? Any remedies? I'm just waiting for my next appointment to address it with the dr

Yep I’ve had this from 24 weeks or so, it’s really swollen and uncomfortable especially around the perineum. When I was seen I was told it’s part of my pelvic girdle pain. Standing for long periods makes it a lot worse, lots of rest, warm baths, compressions etc make it slightly better. Better to get checked out to be 100% but you may just be unlucky like me and this is its state now until birth😓

I’m exactly the same! I’m at 27 weeks and I ache so much. I also have some varicose veins down there that don’t help. I just feel so swollen and achey and sore. Especially when I’ve been at work all day on my feet it can be so painful! Ive noticed that baths and putting my feet up whenever I can helps 💕
