Swollen above vagina area.

I'm 23w and noticed today that the area above my vagina. I guess you could say my public area is very swollen and a little sore. It was itchy yesterday but not today. I called my doctor and she said it's normal. Is anyone else experiencing this. What are some ways to get the swelling to go down?

It's only hurting if I touch it. Hopefully it doesn't start hurting more. I was really hoping there would be a way to make it go down. On the bright side only 16 more weeks of it lol.
