Sorry U Might Find It Gross! Posted: 06-09-04 21:30pm
Hey everyone. Sorry if u find this
gross but I have a few questions.
1) ok I know it sounds sick.. But I
have these 2 bumps 'down there' their
almost just like razor bumps (i shave
there) but their bigger then normal razor
bumps. Ive been checked for stds sence
ive been pregnant and after the last
person ive been with. Ive gotten the
bump before tho a while back but theres 2
now. They dont hurt and arent
noticeable really but I can see them.
What do u think? Has anyone else ever
got this? 1 of the bumps is always in
the same place when it comes..But like I
said ive been tested for stds sence ive
been pregnant and I was clean....
2) also about that area.. For those who
have had their babies..Was it really
different there after and were u alot
looser or did it seem to go pretty much
back to normal? Ive always been quite
small there or 'tight' lol so im kinda
worried about that! But even now it
feels like its not quite as 'tight' there
and the baby hasnt came yyet and im not
sexually active and havent been sence
april* is this normal too? It just
feels different there sometimes and
sometimes im worrying like 'am I dialating
or something???" lol but I know im
probably just paranoid.. I have no pain
or painful contractions. But ive heard it
feels different down there when being
preg?

When is your next doc appt? Ask your doc
to check them out. I would not worry,
maybe its just a bump of some sort to
freak you out, lol.
Also, I heard that you go back to normal
there once you have the baby. I would
imagine it would take a month or two or
three, lol, but I heard that you do go
back to normal.
Lots of love,

Kari,
i've gotten bumps before. It's nothing.
Sometimes sweat causes them and such. Or
shaving. But if they hurt or don't go
away with time... Then i'd see my doc.
Also, i've never had kids but i've always,
always heard that you go back to normal
down there. It doesn't make you loose
forever! Lol

don't worry kari,
when I was pregnant with my daughter, I
had the same bumps but it came from
shaving...My advice is to stop shaving
because they can only get worse...

I shave down there and it made my lymph
nodes between my 'lips' swell. The doc
told me to stop shaving but I can't...

Im actually glad you posted this, kari,
because I was wondering about shaving
while being pregnant. Like early on, im
sure its easy, but when you start to get
bigger, isnt it hard to see what youre
doing down there? Lol! The reason I ask
is because I shave now, and when I do get
pregnant im hopeing to continue
shaving...If someone videos my labor, the
last thing I want on camera is a "bush"!!!
Sorry, gross, I know. Lol
anyways, about the bumps, like the other
girls said, if they dont hurt and if they
go away on thier own, its probably
nothing. You might mention it at your
next dr's appt, just to ease your mind.

from shaving or something sence ive been
tested for any stds. And yes, it is hard
to shave now! Lol I dont do it daily
like I used to. Its quite a challenge
seein over my belly but I still can a
little bit just by moving it around and
moving as much as possible* but ive been
doin it for years so luckily I dont really
gotta see to be able to* and ive managed
do it for 34 weeks so im sure I can handle
6 more* haha I wouldnt wanna be hairy

about hair!

I shaved before I got pregnant but I
figured I should quit shavin before I cant
no more, then im gonna be really
uncomfortable and super pregnant plus
itching down there, and also cuz I dont
really feel comfortable being all shaved
and having everybody down there... I dont
know, I guess I would feel open to the
whole world. But yea, I had them bumps
too, I didnt know what they were and I was
worried about them but they went away when
I stopped shaving...

One time I read that they can be ingrown
hairs. Like the ones when you shave and
they grow back like under the skin and
cause a bump. I think its normal just be
careful when shaving since you can see!
Lol

Yeah I bet its also because skins more
sensitive during pregnancy due to hormonal
changes etc.

name again?? Anyhow I can see how u would
feel like that too.I felt the same way
b4*
nikki- ingrown hairs could be it too,

Mine werent ingrown hairs, and im guessin
kari's werent either cuz she said they
didnt hurt... Ingrown hairs really hurt,
and will adventually get puss in them and
then hurt reallly bad. These bumps are
just little knoby bumpy things... No
pain, no itch, just there being
themselves, and then they go away... I
had kevin look at them to see if it was an
ingrown hair and it just didnt hurt yet,
and he said it just looked like a bump, it
wasnt read or anything... a
tip not to get ingrown hairs ~down there~
cuz they suck real bad!: shave along with
the hair, not against it... It will
greatly reduce the risk of gettin an
ingrown hair.... Trust me, they suck!

It could just be an ingrown hair because
when you shave that can happen. But I
would ask your doctor at your next
appointment though just to make sure.

Sometimes the ingrown hairs will
encapsulte themselves and it becomes an
under the skin cyst. They will not hurt
and only feel like a little lump under the
skin. Nothing you can do really just the
bodies way of traping the foreign body.
Messing with it will cause it to swell.
In time they get smaller or a derm can
remove..But then you have a scar. As
always best to have m.D. Look at if it is
a new growth on your body.

Yep sounds like ingrown hairs to me, it
happens more often that not when you
shave.
