swollen labia

[1monthstogo]

ok for the last month I have been experiencing swelling in my left labia minora. It wasnt a big deal before but now is getting bigger and it feels bruised. I also noticed it was dry too. I am 9 months pregnant and I'm not sure it is related to pregnancy or not. I have no other symtoms, no sores, no burning, or iching. please help me in finding an answer!

I have the same problem at 6 months. Its very very extremely swollen and itchy, just one side. Can be painful if touched Is it normal? My OBGYN made out as if it was not.

ok the swelling went down after applying some vaginal moistureizer, but now it itches a little up by my vulva.

Hi,
During pregnancy, your body's blood volume rises by about 50 percent, with much of that fluid routed to your uterus to nurture your growing fetus. As a result, vaginal tissue becomes engorged with blood, leaving some women feeling a bit swollen and tender.

The tissue in your vaginal walls fills with blood and so do the external genitalia, this effect will be more pronounced as pregnancy progresses. At 9 month's time it will be at maximum capacity.
As your baby grows, pressure from your uterus slows blood flow in your lower body, with the potential to distend veins anywhere below the waist, including your groin. Like varicose veins on your legs, varicosities in your vulva can cause pressure and throbbing.
This will resolv eafter the delivery.
