Has anyone looked at their lady bits lately?

It ain't right. 37w. I think maybe my vagina (not cervix) is falling down from pressure and swelling and in general all is wrong!

I kinda love the name of this thread haha. I haven't seen mine  (i dont own a handheld mirror), but i can tell by touch that things seem a little puffier and swollen (39+1).

 Also, i think i deserve a medal of some sort for attempting to shave without being able to see those bits haha.

I love this thread!

@GG620 I shaved without being able to see at the end too—surprised I still have a vagina lol. 

I had uncommonly bad edema after surgery from pre-e and it was probably as big as a grapefruit. I was so glad I couldn’t see it!!

I'm 40 weeks, can't see my lady bits but have a mirror haha! I look really swollen too, I'm so embarrassed, feel like I have a little willy....

I still can’t see my vag under my mom-apron because the incision isn’t healed enough to manipulate around. I can’t contort to get a good look but it feels alright?

I also attempted a bit of shaving- totally couldn’t see a thing. I’ve been puffy down there for weeks due to increased blood flow/roids. Dr said it’s normal. Hubby doesn’t seem to care though. Hehe

Feels real swollen all the time. 
after sex it kinda blows up even more and hurts so bad

I am swollen down there too. Sex didn't seem to have much effect for me though. Kinda surprised we managed it!

Every time I get in the shower I start having braxton hicks contractions, so I bought myself a shower stool recently, and I am kicking myself for not doing it earlier - You can scrub your feet! You can shave your legs! You can sit and relax without having to heave yourself out of the tub later! It's so awesome. I kept the box so I can save it with all my maternity stuff for next time. (I can't believe I'm thinking ahead to another pg. wtf?)

It’ll go back!

@fatstagnation I have a shower stool too...let me tell you it was my life saver during labour. I sat on that stool and let warm water fall on my back throughout contractions and it was heaven. Best purchase ever.
