I have a small lump, and been very quickly looked over by a doctor who says could be varicose vein of vaginal wall but barely took a 2 second look. and another doctor tell me it's normal. but it does seem to go in when I lie down also, which is how I was examined. so I'm not sure if they were even looking at the right part, and it's giving me major anxiety. I should note I also am 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. these photos were all taken while in a sitting position. I have no incontinence so

I dont know what to think, is this a normal part of pregnancy?

    As you are 35 weeks pregnant and its your second pregnancy it could be the baby is pushing down on the vaginal walls,which wont be so taut as in your first pregnancy. It looks OK to me. It will probably all go back to normal after the birth. Give yourself some time with your feet up every day.

      Try not to fret about it.Your doctors are not worried and you need to wait 6 months after delivery before even thinking about looking at it again. Dont get anxious, look forward to that new baby.

    i know we are all different, but that doesn't seem to be right to me.

    I've had 3 kids, I'm 47 just healing from anterior and Posterior repair. get a second opinion 💜plus, we know when something is wrong. do you poop ok?

    does it feel like poop is still on your body when you stand up? that's how my rectocele felt.
