Was your vagina swollen when pushing? I don't know if it was because I pushed for 3 hours but mine was swollen about 3 times the size and scary looking!  Damon and my mom were a little traumatized by it.

I dunno I had 2 c-sections, but I would bet it would be after squeezing a watermelon out of the size of a grapefruit...

I pushed for 3 hours and don't remember being swollen (though, to be honest, I don't remember ANYTHING for the first week after delivery because I was so drugged up), but I also didn't actually get him to come out, I wound up with a c-section, so that could have something to do with it too. Ummm...so I guess this doesn't help at all, does it? lol.

Its normal....more so with posterior babies and longer pushing. But I have seen women who looked like a horse stepped on their crotch it was so bad!

My bestfriend just had her baby at the end of May, and she said it was pretty scary looking cuz it was so swollen. Mines already swollen from blood flow Im guessing so Im worried what the end result is gonna be..

I don't remember being anymore swollen than I was during pregnancy but then again I only pushed for 14 minutes with Liam and 10 minutes with Lochlann. I can see if you had to do that for a couple hours you'd get pretty swollen.

While we were pushing?? or after?? I was swollen after wards with both boys. Curtis I pushed for 20 or so mins and Dustin was like a min. I dont know if I was swollen during.... I was in way to much pain to think about that haha especially with Dustin. I swear he just shot out and the pressure about killed me haha!

LOL!!! Well, since Amara got nowhere near my vagina, it wasn't swollen at all and I pushed for about 3 - 4.

I had a mirror for both girls and it only looked puffy with Taylor because I pushed for almost 90 mins. With Rylie I ended up going all natural and only pushed for maybe 5 mins so it didn't look like that LoL.

I don't think mine was swollen.. But then again, I never put a mirror down there to look..lol I only pushed maybe 30 minutes. Which is hard to believe since my induction lasted 32 hours.. lol I didn't even tear.. I think it's because had Adriana had such a small head.. I just pray my next baby has a small head too.. lol

I dont know I didn't look or watch when Seamus was being born. I just wanted him out, and stupidly pushed when I didn't feel a contraction, it seemd like they all went away once the OB came in so I bet it was a little, I only pushed for just over 1hr with him though. (labor over 24 hrs with the induction for him)

Wow, mine must have been MUCH more swollen than almost all of yours, because I remember it vividly! The day after I gave birth, I was so swollen that I could feel the lips between my legs  I would say that they stuck out by almost 2 inches! That freaked me out more than anything, when I actually saw them. I pushed for 2 hours.
Fret not! They are 100% back to normal  I don't I look any different now than I did before I had a baby. But at the time? Man, it was gross!

I have no idea as I didn't have a mirror and I didn't look after I got home. I have a feeling it wasn't too swollen though, cause I didn't push a really long time.
I was all achy down there though, dermoplast was my friend!
