Tmi.....but please help

Since I hit 35 weeks, everything has started to swell up. I expected this to happen but the thing I'm concerned about is among everything my labia has swolen up. My ob said this can cause more discomfort during pregnancy, which I obviously don't want. Has anybody had this problem? Any ideas for getting swelling down? Thank you

Once I hit 37 weeks, I started to swell like a balloon. Nothing helped. I had my feet up and it didn't help. Came to find out it was due to my blood pressure. I luckily made it over full term and my little guy deicded to come the night before I was supposed to get induced. Maybe you should call you doctor if your concerned.
