Is it normal to have swelling in the vagina during pregnancy?

Answer 1

Yes it's perfectly normal. There is an increased blood flow to the lower half of your body during pregnancy. (All that blood is feeding a baby afterall.) And when there's that much blood going to a pretty localized area swelling tends to happen. If it's painful try a semi-melted ice pack to help constrict the blood vessels, try to keep off your feet for long periods of time, and try not to eat a lot of salty foods to help keep your blood pressure down. Another good idea is to take a luke warm or even a cool bath. If you can't find anything that works, ask your obstetrician for more suggestions. Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes. The blood flow is increased to all areas of the body during pregnancy and this includes the vagina. Also, vericose veins can happen in the vagina as well.

Answer 3

Yes. The body is going through so many hormonal changes and it seems that EVERYTHING swells during pregnancy.

Answer 4

defanatly. Your blood flow is so much stronger that you can swell everywhere. But if you develop swelling in your hands and feet you should see a doc you probably have preclamsia.

Answer 5

Yes. Everything swells, and mucus membranes are most susceptible. That's why they say not to get your eyes checked while you're pregnant - your eyes are mucus membranes and they swell, too (even if it's not visibly).
