Varicose veins

I'm 32 weeks and recently noticed my vagina is very swollen, especially on one side. From what I've been reading (I have an appointment with my OB early next week) I have vulvar varicose veins. Does anyone else have this or have had them? I'm afraid they will get worse and won't go away.

I'm worried about having a vaginal delivery, I hope it's still possible. Good luck to you too!

I have them! They are supposed to go away after delivery. I'm 35wks and I have became more swollen the further in my pregnancy I have gotten. Only solution is having the baby...If they don't go away after pregnancy my Dr. said some women have to see a vascular specialist but I think that's rare. They're not fun but I think most of the time they are harmless. Good luck!
