I have this too!! I thought my VJJ just got fat! Glad i'm not the only one to notice it! No idea why though!xx

ive had this for about a week or so, i hope for me its not a sign of labour! lol
ive been a bit sore aswell from it rubbing on my pants (sorry way TTI) lol, have no medical reasons,just wanted you to know your not on your own

It's quite normal in general in pregnancy. Don't know whether a late onset might have anything to do with labour or not. It's just all the extra blood glow really.

 

[PeanutBean]

That would be flow not glow!

 

[lousielou]

Yup, extra blood flow and pressure of the baby's head pressing downwards

thanks girls xxx

Yup.. don't think it's a labor sign though, I still have 6+ weeks left!

ive had it for a week now i asked my doctor she said its my body getting ready for baby and babys pressure doesnt hurt just thicker not my lips but top of pubic bone

The extra fluid you find around your ankles, hands etc when pregnant can also end up around your labia. So it could simply be oedema

 

[winegums]

Doesn't mean labour is coming! I've had this for 2-3 weeks now...

just like other areas in pregnancy there is excess fluid - tis why we can get swollen feet, ankles, calfs, hands, face etc

I had this with river. Went down a few days before I went into labour

Holy Crap you can actually see your vagina!!

 

[Ava Grace]

I have this too! I mentioned it to my mum and she said she had it and was told it was veins swelling from the pressure of baby pressing down x

 

[Annunakian]

I've had swelling for.. I don't even know how long. It literally feels like I've been trying to have sex dry or something. Annoying when I wipe!

Holy Crap you can actually see your vagina!!

now thats what I was thinking!!!

 

[Mum2MJ]

Mine's down to varicose veins down there only swells when I stand/sit upright so for me it's due to the uterus pressing on a vein

 

[MissRamejkis]

I said, I don't frickin know !!! haha xxxx
