Hello ladies,
Sorry to put not a very nice post up and probable a little TMI!
Anyway over about the past month my giny area has been quite sore, I had my pelvic bone start to move a little about 2 months back so I just put it down to that. Every day no matter what I did it would be so sore some times of the day worse than others.
Anyway last night I had a bit of chafing so something made me grab the mirror an see how bad the chafing was, and to my discust I have found the complete right side of my vulva swollen!!! Sorry TMI
I checked it out again this morning an I could see this massive purple/ blue vein sad
Ouch ouch ouch!
This has been the pain maker
I have googles it, but can't find anything really on how to help the pain an thobing, can some of you ladies please help me out? I'm back to see my MW on the 21st, but I have just had a crappy emotional day about this cause it's just so yucky.

i ended up with spider veins all down my left leg and also in the nether regions. my partner actually confirmed for me why it was so sore sometimes after being on my feet all day, and the pain after sex was so bad it turned me off sad the only good news i can give you is that the pain will definitely go away after you give birth and it doesn't affect birth either, sorry sad as for treatment in the meantime, i never asked either my mw or gp!! once i realised what it was, i put up with it and just waited it out.

Rest as much as possible and that will reduce the pressure, giving you a god chance of getting rid of them completely or at least reducing the severity.

Not anything you can do. It DOES dissapear right after the birth though when all the pressures gone!
The midwives say use an ice pack, rest with your feet up. Pigs ass. None of that worked. Rolling out of bed in the morning was agony. Walking was agony. The smelling was sooooo sexy (not).
And they just can't do anything to help you with it. Just wait til pregnancy is over and it goes away.
