nothing as severe sounding as that - maybe phone your midwife to be sure?

scorpio1 · 26/05/2008 18:31

have you had sex today? the blood flow makes it swell sometimes, can feel very uncomfortable.

Nursejo · 26/05/2008 18:46

Could be Varicose Veins "down there" or an abscess.Get it checked asap,mainly to get some relief.

hi. not sure how pg you are...if the bulging is inside, it may be your water sac.....are you nearly due?

if you mean your external "bits" are sore and swollen, then i had it when i was pg and it was absolutley bloody awful!!! it turned out to be thrush which needed canestan to clear it....

whatever it is, think you need to pop to see your gp tomorrow....

i think i'd deffo give the midwife a call chick...at best, its nothing to worry about..they may ask you to pop in to the unit for monitering, and at worst it could be the start of early labour, in which case, you'll need looking after...sure it'll all be fine though.

not trying to worry you.....its difficult to give a real opinion over the internet!!

hope all is ok. x

dizzydixies · 27/05/2008 10:18

LofW am hoping you're doing ok this morning and are managing to get to see someone

dizzydixies · 28/05/2008 20:55

lofW are you ok?!

mellyonion · 29/05/2008 11:14

hi dizzy....i keep checking back too!

i wonder if anything came of it?

update me if you see a thread elsewhere.

dizzydixies · 29/05/2008 14:27

melly she hasn't been back on here or our antenatal thread

am just hoping she is ok too

orangina · 29/05/2008 14:32

Sounds like a hernia.... I had one when I was lg w dd and it appeared at about 32 weeks for me.....
if you lie on your back, can you sort of push it back in?

orangina · 29/05/2008 14:34

actually, have read it PROPERLY now (), perhaps too low down to be hernia (mine was to one side, sort of on pubic bone).... hope you are ok....

FoghornLeghorn · 29/05/2008 14:39

LofW - I am exactly the same although I think mine is just Varicose Veins

You have my sympathy - very uncomfortable - walking or standing for long periods of time send me into an aching wreck

dizzydixies · 29/05/2008 14:42
