Pregnant and in pain

[Guest guest]

hi there

I'm hoping to find someone who may have had the same problem as I am

currently experiencing. I'm now 14 weeks pregnant and ever since

getting pregnant have been suffering. My doctor diagnosed and treated

2 bladder infections but I also have something else going on. Doctor

and midwife have both admitted they can see inflamation and swelling

in the vulvar area but have no idea what the cause is and have ruled

out infections and everything seems to be in place so it doesnt seem

to be related to relaxation during pregnancy. Next step in a

gynaecologist.

I am in pain almost daily but it comes on at different times of the

days and can last for between 2 and 4 hours, sometimes even longer.

Almost feels as if I am sitting on sliced lemons! No pain at night and

it tends to go when I lie down. I thought I might try this support

group to see if this sounds familiar to anyone. I didn't have these

problems before getting pregnant.

thanks!

is it painful to have sex? I had issues starting at 4 months pregnant...but my issues were pain with sex only. I hope that you can find some answers quickly and that it is something that is easily resolved. Kimmi

I know women can get painful varicosities in the vulvar area during pregnancy. Perhaps it could be that? Or it may be a form of yeast that is non-albicans and so much be treated differently? Where do you live? If it is vulvodynia, and I hope it isn't, you can ask the group for a practitioner in your area who has experience with vulvodynia and could maybe help you with medications that are compatible with pregnancy.

Hi,

I had something like that with all 3 of my pregnancies. My OB said I had varicose veins of the vulva. It was nothing serious ... I could not stand or sit for very long without being in alot of pain. The nervous mom that I was, I was sure the baby was going to fall right out (LOL) ... I had to have my labor induced for all 3 births.

I looked at the bright side ... it was a great excuse to lie around and have my husband wait on me!

hi

thanks for letting me know about this. I had heard about varicose

veins of the vulva and thought this could be the problem. My sister

had varicose veins during her pregnancy but lucky her they were in her

legs! How is this diagnosed? Also just out of curiousity, why did you

need to have labor induced? And probably the question I am dreading

most is did you have this all the way through the pregnancy?

ps I will tell my husband, hes in for a busy time the next few months

looking after me!

hi julie

Thanks for the tips. I don't think its any sort of infection as I have

none of the usual signs for that and doctor has ruled that out. I

realy think it must be circulatory. As you say, lets hope its

varicosities and not vulvodynia.
