It could be some lovely varicose veins, they are common in the later months of pregnancy and can be very painful. If you can manage it, try and have a look down there (with aid of a mirror or aid of a boyfriend! :p ) and see if you can spot a sticky-out vein.

I have this too but only on the left side. It feels like there should be some sort of sore there but I can't see or feel anything. Applying pressure to it actually relieves the pain. It doesn't bother me when i'm sitting but when I get up from sitting or laying it is really painful and takes a while for me to walk off. Sometimes it's so bad I walk funny or even have to hold my crotch (i don't do that in public!). I asked about it on another forum I go to and everyone who replied said it sounded like a varicose vein. I've had it for 2 weeks now and from what i've read it won't go away until after the baby is born. I didn't mention it at my last appointment because I thought it was pretty much gone (i didn't know what it was at the time) but i'll definitely be mentioning it at my next one because it is excruciating at times and i'm hoping they'll take pity and not let me go too far past my due date. Thank god someone else knows what i'm going through! I thought I was a freak! Hang in there, if you're feeing what i'm feeling I know how horrible it is. Just mention it at your next appointment and see what they say, in the meantime maybe google varicose veins in the vulva.

Thanks i'll google

i've tried looking in the mirror many times and I can't see anything. I'm guessing mine is too deep to be visible from the outside. So if you don't see anything keep in mind it could still be varicose veins. It makes me want to squeeze this baby out right now.

oh you wait for the haemmorhoids to kick in...Then you truly know that .God is a man!!!!

Haemorrhoids? Nooooooooooo!

The miracle of life is such a beautiful thing.

Sigh...

it's so worth it though. Totally totally worth it.

i am so glad that I didnt' have them. Thank god.
