I've carried low, so this is partly to do with it. It has made sex really painful, though, so we've stopped. I just started swelling in my feet and legs, though, and I'd recommend the same thing for both; get a short walk in every day, and make sure you're getting your feet up regularly throughout the day, as well. My midwife suggests laying on the floor and getting your feet above your heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-lady-parts#post-98006 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:03:45 +0000 Mrsbells 98006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys!! its reassuring to know that other people go through the same thing as me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-lady-parts#post-97921 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 00:16:22 +0000 lemondrop 97921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where wasn't I swollen that last month? I had read that it was pretty normal. Hang in there, you are almost there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-lady-parts#post-97914 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:33:53 +0000 Boogs 97914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my last month I got pretty swollen. My doctor wasn't concerned by it, she said it was all the extra blood flowing to that area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-lady-parts#post-97886 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:33:29 +0000 runsyellowlites 97886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was getting swollen my midwife told me 2-3 brisk 10 minute walks through the day would help. It's all the pressure there that cuts good circulation.</p> <p>Since I've started taking note in walking faster periodically it's been MUCH better. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-lady-parts#post-97871 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:48:31 +0000 jennylynn 97871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor didn't mention it, but I feel like I am. It's def. uncomfortable. I think I read in "Belly Laughs" that this is totally normal. I think she actually compared it to 2 twinkies sandwhiched together which sounds pretty accurate to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-lady-parts#post-97866 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:34:04 +0000 Mrsbells 97866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yea I do have mild swelling in my ankles and feet as well, so that could be part of it too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-lady-parts#post-97864 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:30:12 +0000 katdevargas 97864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the biggest fupa at the end of my pregnancy, seriously. It was crazy amounts of water retention, for me. I'm 11 days pp &amp; have lost 40lbs (and am no longer swollen there either), so if you're retaining water too, that could be what it is </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swollen-lady-parts#post-97860 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:27:31 +0000 Mrsbells 97860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While my OB was doing my strep swab today, she mentioned that I seemed a bit swollen down there. She didnt seem too bothered by it though, but I'm wondering has anyone else experienced this? I'm 36 weeks. </p>
