unusual body issues during pregnancy

This is my fourth pregnancy I will have to term. I know that every pregnancy is different. I know all about hemorrhoids, varicose veins in the legs as well as spider veins. I didn't realize until this pregnancy that u can get vericose veins in ur vaginal area. I was wonder if other mom have had this or have this now.

Im only engorged on my left side. My n.p said that everything will go back to what it was like before my veins became engorged. I did read that it may also need surgical release. Good to know I'm not alone in this.

The veins running through my vagina lips are extreamly engorged and swollen....i didn't think it was possible for my vagina lips to get that big lol.  My doc said not to worry everything will go back to normal after baby is born!

I just never thought u could get those down there. Do  u know how long before she noticed they went away? I heard they sometimes have to be surgically removed...all this for us to have babies. Lol
