tearing during sex Posted: 03-22-08 00:42am
im currently 27 weeks pregnant, and my
vagina swells up a lot during the day, is
this normal? also i find that after sex, i
tend to be very sore and occasionally tear
a little, sometimes there is even a little
blood. has anyone else experienced this?
and if you have, what did you do about it?

i think you should go to your doctor and
tell them this, they might tell you not to
have sex till after your pregnancy.

WOW i have experienced this....I'm nearly
at the end of my pregnancy with my 3rd and
my one side of the vagina is constantly
swollen and sore all the time....its very
unpleasant...i have had thrush and my
doctor said it was because of this...but
at 39 weeks gestation and I'm still
swollen its abit worrying.As for the
bleeding with sex...it was sex with my
partner that put me into premature labour
at 26 weeks and as my cervix has stayed
open since then we have been told not to
have sex as it can trigger labour (as we
found out) and can cause infections to me
and baby while cervix is open.Deffinetly
think you should see your doctor as they
could take a swab and see if its thrush or
a different infection. The sweliing also
could be down to your pregnancy
hormones.....I think i have heard of that
but please correct me if that one is
wrong.

the vagina becomes engorged with blood
during pregnancy (which usualy is a plus
for most women because it hightens sexual
pleasure...for me it just made it hurt
lol) because your bodys blood volume
skyrockets. so what you are experiancing
could be very normal. also the bleeding
could be due to your partner irritating
your cervix, it becomes very tender during
pregnancy. if you are worried talk to your
doctor but i dont think its anything to
worry about (but then again im not a
doctor lol)
