33 wks pregnant with vaginal bumps!!!???

really embarassing.  sorry for TMI.  I am 33 wks 3 days pregnant.  I have had a big increase in vaginal discharge lately....

A few days ago, while I was in the shower, I felt a few bumps on my outer vaginal lips.  Today I got out a mirror (yes, I can't see anything down there without an aid)  I have a few bumps there.  They are whitish & some look purple grey.  Nothing looks like I last recalled seeing it.  I'm really discusted with myself & my body.  I look "old & shrunk up" down there, with purplish bumps.

The bumps DO NOT hurt at all.  I wouldn't even know they were there If I didn't wash myself.  What the heck are they & how do I make them go AWAY???  I of course was tested for STDs earlier in the pregnancy.  Could something have been missed??  I am POSITIVE I have not contacted an std since being tested.  Once again I am stressing that they are completely PAINLESS.  What is up here?

well since you are so far in your pregnancy the baby is pushing down more and more and im guessing you have been having cramps in that area. I had the same thing with my 3 prior children. the doctors told me that it ws normal with the hormonal change and the body preparing its self for the birthing process. since you have more discharge the white bumps you are seeing are probably clogged pores from that and the purple/grey ones  are probably buldging blood vessels from the pressure and weight of the baby.

started taking more baths... they are still there, but maybe a little less???  Still totally painless.  it just feels lumpy.  some of them you cant even really see, just feel.  

they are not like blisters, pimples or boils  at all.  not even like warts really.  just bumps.  mostly flesh colored.  some are a little purple-grey.  about the size of a bb.  (smaller than a pea)

i have a couple that have come up too, one of then is actually like an extra bit of skin hanging down but like you i hadnt noticed them before and they dont hurt just dont look very nice. I have looked on google and apperently its resonably 'normal' and a pregnancy related thing but i will be telling my doctor next visit (if i remember) im sure we are fine but best to get checked anyway

Could be sebaceous cysts. They sometimes form on the hoohad during pregnancy. I would def speak with your  doctor about it though. They'll be able to for sure tell you what it is and how to get rid of it.

I would def speak with your doctor about this and ask him/her to check them out.  I am pregnant with #7 now and I have never had this before.  Might want to try Googling this and see if you might come up with something??

I think its just maybe a calcium bump or something similar to. I also have the same thing and FREAKED out on my partner because I thought it was an STD. Horrible, I know. Anyhow, somekind of blemish, I wouldnt freak out too much.
