My layman's opinion would be that each and every single one of those things are unrelated to the others but it can't hurt to discuss with your doctor.

1. Yeah, you might have a cold, but rhinitis of pregnancy is also really common. I've had an especially stuffy and sensitive nose for about six months. And oy, the post-nasal drip!

2. Yep, a couple of my moles have become bigger or raised.

3. You could have a little cyst. I have one in that area that I've had for a few years, no biggie. Definitely point it out to your doctor though.

4. No idea.

Do talk to your doc, but none of those things sounds especially weird.

Ditto, #3 could also be some varicose veins. It can happen down there too.

I would definitely ask your doc about the mole at your next visit. I developed melanoma about a year after DS was born. It's very curable if caught early and I had the mole checked twice when pregnant and then removed when DS was about 9 months old. I was extremely lucky and the malignancy did not spread past the borders of the mole, but I had to have 1cm of skin around it removed to be tested. Thankfully it was benign. Now I go every 3-6 months for full body checks. With this pregnancy I developed a basal cell carcinoma. It doesn't spread like melanoma but I had to have MOHs surgery. Not saying any of this to scare you, I'm sharing my story so it hopefully helps someone! I have 2 gnarly scars, much uglier than my c section scars, to show for it!

I have a cyst on my right arm which I have had since elementary school and it is painless and doesn't bother me except when I'm pregnant! It doubles in size and becomes very tender, but returns to normal after the baby comes...perhaps you have something like that on your lady bits!

It's not a first post. And I'm not a shy person. It's just a body, I told you I don't have any STDs. I thought this forum was for women having babies in January. This is my first pregnancy and I'm finding that weird things happen to your body. I thought this was an open and inviting forum where I can be honest and find comfort in talking to other women who may share some similar pregnancy symptoms. I didn't know that I would be judged or put down for doing so. I found this forum helpful since I don't have many friends who have had children. Maybe in the future you shouldn't read any of my posts. I thought we were all adults with vaginas here.

Well, I am. But this is also an open public forum. My original BMB with my first daughter had a few men on it. I believe at one point we had a man post here, as well. Plus, it's the internet. I could really be this:

Questions that are of medical nature should be addressed by a medical physician that sees you in person. If you're concerned enough to post on a forum, you should probably call your doctor.

Stop it with the bullying crap. You were not in any way, shape or formed bullied. Your misuse of that word demeans those who are actually victims of cyber bullying.

Wait. Who told you about that????!!???

Also, now you're just jealous that a pregnant woman got to poop.

Oh sorry this is your forth post and you've only responded ten times. To the posts you've made. You have to give support to get support. You've given no support to others, so no one recognizes you.
You seem to be the only person who has a problem with me posting anything. I didn't realize I had a quota to meet in order to participate. I've read plenty of posts and contribute when I feel like I have something worth saying. I have a life and a full time job, in addition it took me several months to have the time to figure out how to properly use this application. I'm not one to spend hours on the internet or on my phone, but I will use both as a resource when I can. I see that you have put a lot of time and effort into making a name for yourself in this forum. And I congratulate you on that. I just don't have that kind of time to read and respond to over two and a half thousand posts as I'm sure you pride yourself on. Maybe my next pregnancy I can be a more active member to avoid such negative criticism from overzealous app enthusiasts such as yourself.

Wow.

You don't really get the vibe of our community, mostly because you haven't been active in it. It doesn't matter why you haven't been, or who has been more active. You posted a question and got lots of helpful advice, and a few jokes you didn't appreciate. Unfortunately that is the nature of the internet -- you can't dictate how someone responds to you. Calling people bullies and then declaring that only people with certain experiences can reply? That's not cool no matter how you slice it.

Wait until your doctors appointment. It's a non-emergency as you've already noted and you shouldn't feel obligated to scold or school people. You aren't the sheriff of the internet.

I am about 30 weeks now and in the last few days some weird things have started happening. First of all it got very cold out and now I think I have developed a cold..sore throat, stuffy nose.
I noticed two moles that were previously flat on my back are now raised and not looking so cute.
Also a couple of days ago I noticed a pea-sized painless bump on my vagina, inside my labia right above the clitoris. I have no idea what it is! I do not have any stds, so I don't know what it could be. It feels a little uncomfortable if I press on it.
In addition, today a teenie tiny painless, pimple-like bump appeared on my lip, not around my lip, actually on top of it. It's not noticeable, but I feel it and see it.
No clue what that could be either.
I have a doctor appointment on Wednesday but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced any of this from pregnancy and if you know what it could be?!

Since nobody else got the qfp.

I didn't try to make any rules for anyone. I was just clarifying the intention of the original post and what I was asking. And if it were my first post, to be referred to as "weird" isn't very supportive or welcoming.
Those who have formed a relationship in this forum over the past few months, that's fantastic. But as someone who hasn't had the opportunity to be as active, I'm not going to understand if you're joking with me or not.

I think most people find it odd to talk about their lumpy vagina with total strangers. Especially when you see a doctor every two weeks who could look at it and give a professional opinion. Next time I go to a group thing where I know no one I think I'll ask them to look at my hemorrhoid

I don't know what to tell you. You've doubled your post count in one evening. I'm sorry that you don't get the humor of people on our board, but you aren't going to change it. People are people. We don't have a sign hanging up that says we're a support group -- we're a community. There is a difference.

"So for anyone who hasn't..I'm not asking you."

You were certainly trying to make rules. The responses weren't 'supportive' enough for you, but anyone can comment anywhere.

bigbobdole · November 2014

To answer your question, I would say don't worry unless the bumps start to hurt. Bring them up at your next appointment and have the doc check the moles.

Pregnancy does craaaaazy things to your body. There is nothing "normal" during this time.

And even if you're too busy to comment on every thread it is nice to make a small effort to comment here and there. It helps people recognize your name and they'll be more open and willing to help you when you have a concern.

Dr. Google can be very scary. But like I said, your body does crazy things right now, and as long as the bumps aren't painful you should be alright until your appointment.

Good luck and stay calm

bigbobdole · November 2014

And can I also add a big thank you for not posting a picture of your lumps..

Big thanks!

Ever since reading this last night, that is all I hear in my head!

peggels24 · November 2014

Ok I have a question - if you don't know what the bump is, how do you know it's not a STD?

TXUltraRunner · November 2014

YOu haven't seen a doctor in 5 weeks? I find that odd. Most of us switched to every 2 weeks after 30-32 weeks. Prior to that every 4 weeks is standard.
