I’m 36 weeks and 3 days. I feel like I am so swollen down there. I just noticed in the mirror in the powder room after using the bathroom you can see the swelling. What can I do to help it?

    I had the same thing and my midwife said it's very normal from the extra blood flow to the area and the baby's weight. My pubic bone also felt super bruised and painful. I didn't really do anything for it.

    You could mention it to your doctor and see if they have a suggestion/ make sure it’s not an actual issue. Maybe a cool ice pack could help?

    I’m also experiencing very uncomfortable swelling down there. My midwife said this is usually worse after 1st pregnancy - this is my 2nd. Putting my feet up and not standing or sitting too long helps alleviate it. Hang in there, this will pass after delivery!
