Embarrassing Vaginal Problem

Hi M., when this happened to me, it was my bladder, my baby was 9lbs and 23 1/2 inches long at birth.

I agree with calling the doctor. However, I have something very similar to this. I'm only 24 weeks along but my bladder is prolapsed down.

They don't call them vaginal hemorrhoids, but they DO exist! It's basically what a hemorrhoid is -just in your vagina. They refer to them as vericose veins -like the ones you can get on your legs. One of my friends had one with her last pregnancy. They pop out from pressure.

I agree with Allison.. could be a swollen vericose vein. I have had it with all three of my pregancies.

But, call the Dr. in the am just to make sure.

Good luck and Congrats on baby

Call your OB right now... they will probably either send you to, or meet you at the ER.

It could be many things... prolapse being one of the most dangerous (prolapse can actually be MANY things... including your bladder or uterus "falling out".

Call tomorrow and ask the nurse at your doctor's office.

Hi M. - It could be a couple of things - a varicose vein or even your pelvic floor giving way to a heavy baby and what your seeing is your bladder, etc.

Make sure you talk to your doc about it at your appt on Wed. They can examine and tell you what's happening. If it's accompanied by any bleeding, call your doc ASAP.

congratulations on your pregnancy!

Call your Doctor, before Wed. Just because your appointment is then, does not mean you cannot call them nor see them earlier.
Ultimately, only your Doctor can tell you what it is.
He/she will have to see it.

Call the Dr.'s office tomorrow morning explain to them what is going on and ask them if they want you to come in right away to be checked or wait until your reg. appt. time.

I wish you the best.

you probably already have this answer but go to the doctor to check it out--it is likely vaginal prolapse. it can be pushed back in. good luck.

It could be that you are really swollen??? and with all the pressure. I was swollen pretty bad with my boy who was low. Sorry dont know what else to say

Do you have other children? I got an ugly protrusion from birthing my daughter. The doctor said it is a bit of scar tissue. I can imagine that if I had a second child, the protrusion would protrude more and be a bit more noticeable. Perhaps you are just noticing something that was already there. This might not be your issue, but just thought I would throw it out there as a possibility.

Sounds like varicose veins...I had them with all 4 of mine (even when I was quite thin and in great shape...in my case, it's more hereditary than anything else...my mom had them)...eventually they get excruciatingly painful...a support belt helps...I don't know that I would have been willing to endure the discomfort of the belt, had I not already experienced the miserable pain of the varicose veins. I don't know a whole lot about the other things people have suggested (you may want to call your doctor, JUST IN CASE)...but....it does sound a LOT like what I experienced. If it does turn out to be varicose veins...let me know...I might be able to give you a few suggestions of things that helped me survive the times I've had them :).

I would head to the L & D dept. make sure baby's cord isn't hanging out if so baby will need to have an emergency c-section,bladder falling out ,your colon there could be alot of things why question this head to the hospital that is your best choice.
I have a prolapsed bladder it feels like I pee myself when it's PMS time also after sex & very busy day's on my feet I feel like there is a head stuck in between my legs oh the joy's of having 3 vaginial deliveries

sounds like a varicose vein. I just had them with my 3rd pregnancy. They did go away after delivery.

get your little self to the emergency room there is something wrong.
i would type in big letters, but my baby is in my lap

Hello, I hope you have called your doctor. If not, I would call today.
Good luck with your precious baby.

You need to get yourself to a hospital asap! Google cord prolapse!

I would call your OB. and ask him if you can be seen today instead of tomorrow. It could be nothing but if it's something you would want to know and not wait. One of the mamas wrote about Cord Prolapse, which happened to me with my first child. So just be better safe then sorry.

Good Luck!!

I had an 11lb 6oz boy in June and I had the same thing. A weird bubble looking thing from my insides. I was too embarrased to ask what it was but it was so obvious that I figured if there was a problem my ob would've said something. It went away after birth. Good luck!
