chantislu · October 2014

My first pregnancy. I don't really know anything about what goes on with me. For the past few days my vagina has be swollen. I don't know if I should call my doctor or just wait until my next appointment.

What should I do.

I'm sorry what? You "don't really know anything about what goes on with" you? Google symptoms maybe?

Also nice to meet you and now I know too much about your vagina.

Edit: damn auto correct

My best guess (disclaimer: I'm not a doctor) is that it's probably due to increased blood flow to the area. I think that as long as it isn't itchy or painful, you're probably fine. But, as always, if you have concerns, calling your doctor is always a good idea.

Does this sound like what you are experiencing?

It's normal. I would wait until your next doctor appointment to ask about it.

ccam · October 2014

I vote normal.

How were you able to Google your way to this website but not to WebMD

mommymeg143 · October 2014

Lord, I hope it's normal. My vag has been swollen for months!!

Btw...hey girl!! Nice to meet you!!

chantislu · October 2014

Sorry if I hurt some people's eyes

chantislu · October 2014

I'm not clueless. I just don't want to freak out call my doc everytime I think something is wrong.

It's normal.

absolutelymaybe · October 2014

My vote goes for "normal" and I'd just wait until my next dr's appointment to bring it up.

Unless it's like so swollen you can't fit it in your pants or something. Then I'd definitely call...or contact guinness book of records or something.

I'm should just delete this post if people want to be rude.

It's normal, it's from increased blood flow also I'm 34 weeks and baby is head down and engaged so it puts increased pressure to that area and causes it to swell slightly (this was info from my nurse)

Check out Jenny McCarthy's book...she has a great chapter titled "Two Blue Twinkies" or something like that

Edit to add: I'm not advocating her views and do not want to start a discussion on her vaccine stance. I'm just saying she discusses this issue in her book.

I just can't with this! Almost everyone gave you helpful answers and most people were nice about it! You don't get to dictate how everyone responds to you. We are a board full of all kinds of women with all kinds of personalities. Don't go getting your feelers hurt because a few people didn't respond "zOMG my vadge is TOTES swollen, too! #rainbowglitterfarts!!111!!!"

This thread totally reminded me of a classic scene from Mean Girls!

This is why we need a welcome wagon. I'm sure she would feel a lot better about @absolutelymaybe‌ stating that if her vag doesn't fit in her pants anymore...it's a problem...if someone threw glitter on her and handed her a pumpkin spice latte in the beginning.

OP - I'm rocking some seriously swollen labia too. It's normal.

AStewartBU · October 2014

It's not a weird question--I have felt like that at certain points in my pregnancy--where my vag was swollen--but I know from my previous dr appt that the baby's head was pressing on my cervix--so it makes sense. I'm 36 weeks now and baby's head is just off to the right--so, no pressure hence no swollen parts!

And -sorry that some people are rude. It's not nice. And I disagree with their advice about googling it. Google usually goes to the absolute worst thing that could ever happen. That being said--calling the dr is never a bad option--but I totally understand why you would want to ask women on a pregnancy board--some of us have experienced what you are experiencing and it's nice to know you are not alone;)

I have found the internet super useful throughout my pregnancy- just make sure you're looking at reputable sites like .org or .gov.

You're seriously over reacting and I'm over it. Go to baby gaga, they will blow rainbows up your ass.

Hey watch the name calling - since you love it here so much I'm guessing you don't want to violate the TOU and get yourself banned...

Or FFS.... I just can't with this post.

chantislu · October 2014

Okay...Sorry for the uncalled for words.... But was there a reason to be picked on for asking a question to women that might be going through the same thing I'm going through....

Okay OP, you can fuck off now. This is ridiculous.

Lol..

I think a lot of the response you got has to do with the way you worded the question. Putting the word "vag" in the title of a post to a bunch of people who have no idea who you are and then stating that you have "no idea about what goes on with yourself" or whatever came across as strange. Then getting so defensive.

Oh FFS. Show where people were being A holes to you.... ??Point out one post. The ones with helpful links to sites that answer your question? The ones that assured you all was normal, or the ones that said you should not be afraid to call your doctor? I try to see things from two points of view in every post I read but this is down right ridiculous.

You have no right to resort to name calling. People say regular posters on here are mean. Being a random person who comes on and black lists a group of ladies as being AHoles is down right mean and you should buckle the holster in future before you pull your trigger on the post reply button.

Whatever about your swollen vagina, your attitude stinks.

This x10000000!
