Sore

[mewolkens]

Is anyone else just plain sore down below? It's the same feeling as a few minutes after you fall off the seat of a bike onto the bar. I'm in the US and my health insurance starts up again on Oct. 1st so that's the soonest I can see a doc.

Thanks!

I get tenderness right at my pubic bone and shooting pain around my groin. MW said that it is uterus expanding and I'm feeling the pressure from that, as well as the tension from round ligaments stretching too.

The pubic symphysis also shifts with the ever changing pregnant body which can cause some pain around that area.

There's an overall increased bloodflow to the genitals when pregnant, so if your labia is what's bothering you, that might be one explanation. If you notice any odd colored or foul smelling discharge, call your MW or OB.


Try to do some hip stretches to relieve the pain

The owie labia is a legit thing. Last pregnancy it was only bad in my 3rd trimester... This pregnancy? Already displeased if I'm up and walking for a bit. It's totally normal and thanks to a lot more blood in our circulatory system and gravity

The owie labia is a legit thing.

Owie labia is now my new favorite term.

Me! Ugh it's so annoying! I feel like I've been kicked down there. Like nerdy said this didn't happen the first time til much later.

haha. Use it in good health

I think the second time around, our bodies are like "OH! We've got this!" and just chooses to over perform all the way around. There's a few things I wish it would choose NOT to over perform in, owie labia and SPD being the two that come immediately to mind.
