Vaginal varicose veins!!

Sa

So this is my story: I am 24 years old married and currently 28+4 weeks pregnant with my second baby.

My first pregnancy was a breeze, easy healthy and also had an amazing delivery, all natural and very fast.

During this pregnancy I have had it easy also until i hit the third trimester.. I started feeling this uncomfortable pain on my lady parts and it felt swollen also. Started thinking it was an infection of some sort.. I even asked my OB, he said it's probably a vein and that it gets harder on each pregnancy! This was not a big help as this past week I could barely walk and it was getting uncomfortable when sitting, so I hit Google which helped me a lot!! Ot turns out that i have vaginal varicose veins (Vulvar Varicosities).

Are there any expecting mommies experiencing this or have experienced this before?

How did you deal with it? Did it heal after delivery?

Please share your stories!

Thank you in advance ☺️
