Extremely embarrassing

I am pregnant for the first time and am nervous about giving birth because of my large/long labia majora. I've always been very self conscious about it and not only am I embarrassed and feel like I'm so different because I have this I'm also afraid it will make it even longer from having a baby. Anyone else have any similar situation or any advice or words of encouragement? I feel so gross because I have this :(

Birth won't cause it to get any bigger, and I definitely don't suggest a c-section for that reason, I've had 2 and trust me the scar it leaves is worse than anything a vaginal delivery could do, and mind scar isn't even that bad.

Don't feel embarrassed by what your girly parts look like. When you deliver everyone's are messed up looking. Watch a birth on utube. Just when u think they can't get any more mangled then yup

Ive always been embarrassed by mine too but apparently its quite common. If your worried about labor making it bigger u should consider a c section. Thats.what im doing

at least 50% of womens are like yours and its NORMAL the other 50% are the other way, the problem is that most women dont get to see alot of other womans vaginas and if they do see them in a magazine they are usually airbrushed you you think yours arnt normal but they are  :)

Don't be embarrassed, doctors see hundreds of vaginas, they aren't going to remember yours by the time you leave, and they've seen it all, plus MUCH worse, trust me!

My doctors have never reacted to mine, I'm surprised a doctor would be so unprofessional! My husband has always been supportive, even a bit intrigued LOL. Your body is something to be celebrated,  but I definitely know how you feel. I was paranoid how my husband would react the first time we were intimate, but he accepted me whole :) I'm positive a baby won't have any impact on it!

I'm positive baby won't change a thing down there. I know it's kind of embarassing, but a LOT of women have the same and it's nothing to worry about :)
