so personal...

So has anyone else got engorged veins in your vagina? The entire left side of my body has had bulging veins in my legs and I've even got spider veins in my feet this pregnancy. By the way this is my 4th pregnancy.  I have had the spider veins and varicose veins in my previous pregnancies but this has been the worst by far! About my 4th month I started getting a large varicose vein in my vagina. My doctor said it was normal and shouldn't be a problem while delivering.  But the further along I go in this pregnancy the larger it has become. It hurts a lot. And it's very very noticeable.  I joke with my husband that it looks like a mini penis. Its embarrassing and very gross. I'm just wondering has anyone else experienced this in their pregnancy?

I can totally relate. It's really painful! After sitting for a while I stand and feel all the blood rush to it. I have to pause and gather myself before I can even walk. My doctor has suggested to get some sort of stocking that goes up and supports my problem. I just can't get myself to buy a one that looks like a chastity belt. So I just suffer!

Its probably just increased blood blow, which happens when we're horny, pregnant or not :) I thought I had a tumor hahaha. It really freaked me out. And I would of been too embarrassed to bring it up to my doctor, and yes, good thing our hubbys arnt repulsed. My sex life would of been over a loooong time ago if that was the case, I've shared every not so sexy pregnancy moment with him lol

My veins are bigger in my hands and feet. Kinda buldgy. I did get a weird vein on the inside, on one side of my lady bits around 28 weeks. I could tell i was swollen and was super freaked out, I had my husband inspecting with a flash light and Then researching. I guess its really normal and luckily mine went away within 2-3 days. I'm 36 weeks now and never came back...thank god. Ftm here and was mortified lol
