So I'm not sure if you all remember, but about a month ago now I woke up with a swollen gland down below
well went to the doctor and they thought it was a swollen skenes glad, a moisture gland that can become blocked.. Well I took antibiotics for 2 weeks - 9 pills a day - the swelling went down but there was still a small cyst like bump so I thought maybe it was just dying down the rest of the way.. My luck- my doctor thought it was that but it's realy a bartholin cyst- another moisture gland that can become irratated.. Here's a good place to read what the hell I'm talking about

welllllll now it looks like I'll be having to get surgery to get it drained and then the cyst removed... Lucky me seeing as I'm pregnant and can't be put under I have to have a doctor cutting my vag open wide awake while pregnant..
guess it's a good way to get more comfortable before my LO comes. LOL. Just wanted you all to keep my in your thoughts tomorrow while I go through this.. :/ super scared/nervous because I've never had any type of surgery.. Fingers crossed that it makes me feel better and doesn't come back!!
UPDATE: well I just got home from my appointment about 30 minutes ago... She already knew before looking she wanted to try and drain it and if it came back then do a total surgery.. So got naked from the waste down ahhahaah, she got all her stuff ready- used some numbing stuff that was a liquid that made it feel warm, then local anastetic shot like if you were to get stitches.. She said that was the worst part so I'm glad it was just a pinch. Then she made a small cut (about an inch) and let it drain out as much as it would. I bled all over the table
she had to use these weird things that looked like a pair or huge siccors that were flat on the top to squeeze it!! Then put a small cathader inside to let it drain the rest of the way.. She said it should fall out in the next week, if not she'll remove it on Monday when I go back. So it's pretty sore.. Just imagine getting 1 cut right between your legs (imagine where your OH "goes in" and one cut higher, near my clitoris..
sorry if that was way TMI!! LOL. So now the numbing stuff has worn off.. It's sore, and I'm bleeding still..
hopefully this shit doesn't come back!! Lol. I think I'll have a totally miserable rest of pregnancy if it does!!! It was a good little reminder to just breath once I'm in labor though! Lol. (I'm so sorry for my horrible spelling)
