tmi

Everytime I have sex with my husband,which is only about once every two weeks since I have gotten bigger and closer to my due date,  but I  have pain down in my vagina for a few days.. it stings and feels so swollen I don't know why we are both faithful so it's not an STD.. I just feel embarrassed to ask my doctor!!

Its because the vagina has a larger amount of blood flow in it since you became pregnant. The blood flow makes it more delicate and it tends to swell faster, it is supposed to be even more slightly enlarged than normal but its haopened oved the course of our pregnancy that we dont notice. I had this problem til my doc suggested using a genedous amount of lube on both BD and myself.
