Here's a new one! (TMI)

On Sunday, I noticed that my lady parts were very tender when I would wipe. By the end of the day, I was able to feel a lump the size of an almond in the area of my vulva. I did a little googling before panicking and found out about vulva varicose veins. Large blood vessels, pooling of blood in areas experiencing too much pressure. This is the sexy part of pregnancy, right. I am lying on the couch icing my privates. This did not happen with my previous pregnancies. I totally grossed out my husband when trying to get his advice on it. The things we do for our children! Thank goodness for nurse friends at the ready!

  • It would probably be a little better, but spent an hour and a half sitting on metal bleachers during my oldests' first football practice today. I had never heard of this before.
  • Loading the player...
  • Yup, I'm in the same boat. It's the reason sexy time is on hold indefinitely.

  • I cannot even imagine how painful that would be right now. I can barely walk!
  • I got a cyst on my Skene's gland with my first pregnancy. It was really really uncomfortable, so i can totally relate.

  • @BookitBoo‌ went in today and was told it was a cyst on the Skenes glands, too. So much better than varicose veins. Just got out of the tub and already have some relief. I have not felt pain like that before.

    Geez! Know one tells you about this stuff before hand! I think the worst I heard before getting pregnant was that labor would be very painful. No we are talking about mucus plugs and varicose veins in our lady parts!!! I feel like I need to send my husband away for the next 6 months, including icing birth so he will still want me after all this! Haha
    Anyway, hope things start feeling better for you soon!

    My husband asked if there was a pregnancy boarding school he could send me to for the next several months, lol...

  • Last month I got an infected abscess on my vulva. It hurt to walk, sit, lay. Spent a romantic afternoon in ER having it drained. So my sex life has been nill since then. B/C my husband and to clean the area.
