Warning tmi! Anyone have a swollen v?

So last night I thought it would be a good idea to try and wax myself down there since shaving is so hard.. I had wax every where and couldn't stand the pain so I gave up and wow does it look interesting down there.. Well while I was doing this I noticed it looked really swollen down there and I noticed what looked like a bluish bruise . I have no idea what it is but I heard u could get varicose veins down there while pregnant.. Is anyone else having this problem? Ugh I just want everything to go back to normal! I wish I never even looked at it! I love my little girl but I want my body back! I'm tired of all these changes my body is going through!

I got vericose veins in my right labia with my second pregnancy.  Luckily they went away when baby was born.  I got them even worse this time and just delivered my baby 8 hours ago but noticed they are still there when I went pee.   Hopefully one swelling goes downthese go away.  It's so ugly!

I call it "squishy" during pregnancy. Lol because it feels all squishy from about 20 weeks. It's entirely normal for it to become swollen and some woman even have it turn blue or purple! Luckily my husband shaves it and my legs for me when I'm pregnant because I can't see past my belly :)

I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow and still trying to shave there and I'm so glad I can't see it because I'd hate to see the hack job I'm doing lol. I also feel swollen there it freaked me out 1st pregnancy thought something was horribly wrong but it's normal.

I havent seen her for weeks now. I tried to shave her the other day blindly and gave up. I decided that is better we have a long distance relationship until the day before birth if not after lol.  She knows I still love her but my neck caught a cramp trying to snazz her up.  But yes my vag is swollen also.
