ok ummmmmm is your junk supposed to kinda hurt?
it kinda feels like an ache in my birth path type area, basically in the vag.
made worse by lifting stuff or walking a lot, is it just increased blood flow and the pressure of my little boo on that area? i phoned my midwife about it last week but all of the stuff she listed off that it could be didnt really sound like what i'm feeling. its not like excrucating by any means, just more like the degree of hurt of a nagging headache, for sure tolerable, but a bit annoying.
anyone else had this sort of thing?

Hmmm... no idea! I do feel kinda 'heavy' down there sometimes, like there is increased blood flow or something, but not painful.

[ScottishBrit]

Towards the end I got swollen down there and sore/pressure kinda feeling. Maybe thats what your feeling to?

[soImarriedAnerd]

I felt like someone kicked me in the crotch or I way over did sex night LOL It came and went and sometimes it would all look purple like and swollen.

[~*sierra*~]

ok yes it does feel like someone kicked me ..... i'm sure its just normal then, i just never really figured this would happen! i guess its probably natures way of making me take it easy.....

[LisanAndy]

Ohhh the joys of pregnancy.. yeah it sounds normal Sorry you're in pain and discomfort. For me, the worst part of pregnancy is from 33 weeks on... I cry a lot of the time from physical pain and it gets so bad. I hope you can avoid that!

Does it feel "Scratchy"? Like when you walk its just not right?

[~*sierra*~]

nope not scratchy......more like a pulled muscle or something. or if i get up too fast or take some steps too hard i might get a jab of pain but it goes back to a dull ache right away. by the end of the day its a bit swollen on one side too.....ugh!! so wierd!! if i rest it feels better though....i think having to walk up and down tons of stairs a day isnt really helping it but theres not too much i can do about that.....oh well

[Mars]

I don't remember feeling that but so far, it seems normal.

[**Jenn**]

Yup, totally had that with all them. I would get really swollen too, actually that didn't go down after Lila (just on one side) til she was about a month or two old.

Honestly though, I had much bigger pain, the vag tenderness was barely noticeable! lol

[alicenwonderland]

i had pain down there. I think just increased bloodflow. I put an icepack down there lol!

[Mjp121212]

Your baby could be laying on some nerves. Brayden did that and the pain got gradually worse.

[Oriyan]

Oh and tucks pads help with swelling too

[~*sierra*~]

thanks ladies.....i will try some ice and tucks. ugh i just dont even feel like leaving the house....but i'm perfectly happy chilling out on the couch i seriously can't believe this is actually common.....

[~* Helen *~]

Yup I had that feeling .. only with Chloe tho, I don't remember it with Ryan but then maybe I didn't notice it

[~Jess~]

Yes, I had that heavy ache all the time. It was always worst after having sex--I'd ache horribly all.day.long. I tend to get the same type of ache during af too, so it didn't really concern me. But, yeah, major pain in the crotch. lol.

[Alison81]

Sounds normal, I always get that! It's an ache, especially if I sit on the toilet, or as jess said, after sex. Almost feels like everything is going to fall out of me!
