third trimester and my vagina feels swollen?

Question

I'm 35+1 weeks and it feels like my vag is super swollen and that there's pressure sometimes. I mostly notice it when I'm squatting down or I'm on the toliet but it hurts😭 no infection or anything else, just soreness and pressure. Anyone else have this?

Answer

I brought up the pelvic/vag pain I've been having to my ob this week. I couldn't tell if it was a muscle or bone or what. But it hurts the most when I turn over when sleeping and when I change my pants. Lifting one leg at a time is the most painful. Anyway, she mentioned that it was most likely symphysis pubis dysfunction. Basically it's normal. She said it was actually a good thing because my pelvis and the pelvic muscles are spreading and separating in preparation for birth. It's just unfortunate that it's causing pain. But no reason for concern. My body is just doing what it's supposed to be doing. I'm exactly 35 weeks today. I'm not sure if this is the same thing you are experiencing but if it is, I hope this helps!
