tmi... but swelling?!

[Gracey&bump]

sorry if this is tmi but has anyone else's 'downstairs' swollen?!
everything, & i mean everything on the outside has swollen/grown
yet apparently inside still feels really tight?

is anyone else experiencing this? im abit worried!
& also, mummies who have already had their babies, does it all go back to normal?

thankyou

 

[QuintinsMommy]

yes I had this, and by the time i was as pregnant as you I couldn't dtd anymore cause I was too swollen, but before anyway otuside was swollen too
anyway it all is back to normal now!

 

[Lauraxamy]

Yeah mine was swollen during pregnancy and back to normal again now

 

[rainbows_x]

Yup! I have this!

Apparently it's cause she is so low & due to the extra blood flow etc.
Will go back to normal though

have you had it done?
i had my first internal the other day, not nice!

i swear the small talk the midwifes make whilst they're checking make it even more uncomfortable! especially when the conversation stops and you dont know what else to say haha

 

[Mel+Bump]

Ive got my sweep next thursday and Id never even thought about the small talk! lol.

Ive never had an internal before and I just think the most awkward bit will be taking my trousers off....or is it just me worrying about that for no reason lol. Im not worried about the actual internal....just the getting undressed bit lol.

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

yeah i've had one, they made me feel okay, like they cover you over with a sheet, but i was sooo embarassed when she got out this HUGEEEEE torch, i was like haha..

it's the stuff they say to each other, and i'm like "what's that?!" and they're like just relax!!
xxxx

 

[bbyno1]

i wonder when my 1st internal will be? x

 

[pinkribbon]

Yup!!

 

[amynorange]

I noticed today that mine was a bit swolen mainly on one side though and this might be TMI but sometimes gets quite itchy too (like ridiculously itchy) what could this be?
Sorry been too embarrased to say anything to midwife

 

[bbyno1]

sounds like you may have an infection to me..
when did you last get your wee tested?x

 

[Mel+Bump]

If its itchy and swollen then it could just be thrush, so easily treated Worth asking your midwife, just incase it is.
