TMI Question

in Pregnant after 35
Okay ladies! This truly is TMI, but I just need to ask. Of course with the extra blood flowing, our vaginal area will swell, but has anyone had their clitoris to swell as well. It just started like three days ago. What has worked for me so far to keep the swelling down is witch hazel on a gauze placed on site. OMG I really can't take it! So glad I have 3 days and baby will be here. This pregnancy has done some serious changes to my body not experienced in my first three pregnancies. LOL

    I'm sure it's just the extra blood combined with the weight of baby, especially if you've dropped. In my case I'm battling wicked hemorrhoids. Not fun. I do feel like the days she's sitting extra low everything is more swollen and uncomfortable. But the end is near- hang in there!

    Guennie I'm battling hemorrhoids too. With my third child, it got so bad that I had to have surgery on them while being treated for preterm labor. Like what a combination to deal with. Witch hazel has been my best friend during this pregnancy.

    Sheesh I feel horrible for both of you.  I am not rubbing it in but luckily I have none of that at this point.  I got those symptoms AFTER I delivered.  I just have Braxton hicks that are annoying and a baby noggin that loves to rotate around the length of my bladder.  Otherwise I really can't complain.  Though I do feel like I am going to be pregnant forever!!!!! DezignedByFaith I am jealous you are going to be done by the end of the week.

    This has been a long ride for me Geeps2. I never would've thought that I would be having a fourth but I'm thankful. I never wanted to go through the sickness, etc but it happened. And I never thought the time would get here but I'm estatic. LOL!!! It's almost over and my kids have been doing the countdown.

    But you're lucky not having to deal with the hemorrhoids, etc. it hadn't been no fun in the park.
