Pressure and swollen bits problems at 30 wks

[perfectmummy]

Sorry about the TMI nature of this thread but I wanted to hear your thoughts and if anyone has alos experienced these problems.
I am currently 30 wks pregnant and have until now been fine with no problems. Last week I started to feel great pressure pushing down from inside me, mainly when I stand from sitting or walk around a lot. This is accompanied by very swollen lady bits (how embarassing)which seem to be sort of opening outwards.

Haven't experienced this b4 with my other pregancy and wondered if anyone else has had this problem?

hello perfectmummy,

i'm 30 weeks too and i definitely had very 'swollen' bits with pg 2, which i was so concerned about i asked the obstetrician to check them out!! i was assured that this was perfectly normal and due to the pressure. i feel it a little bit now too, but not to the same extent...yet!!

i'm just experiencing swelling at the other end...piles!!!!! and i was on here to start a new thread pleading for advice...

good luck!

hello! i posted a similar thread a few days ago as i thought it was related to thrush treatment i used, but i think its just common in pregnancy. this is my second pregnancy and im 22 weeks and am very swollen down below, more so on one side than the other!! being pregnant isnt at all glamorous!
