swallon down below TMI

anyone else had this? I woke 2 days ago and it feels like someone has kicked or punched me down there, it hurts so much and it even hurts to sit or go to the toilet - especially to wipe
someone recommend what I can do to 'help'
today it feels like th skin has broken in one spot Im in aggonay if I either sit to long, go to the bathroom or even walking
sigh

have you tried doin some of the things you would do pp if it was sore there, like put a pad in the freezer then wear it, pour water there while your goin toilet, sitting on pillows etc, wiping with flushable aloevera baby wipes?

thanks everyone
Ive tried the pillows but not the wipes or water so may try it

Milo - Im not sure but it could be either, I have a midwife appointment tomorrow so will talk to her more about it then.

Tastic- I feel your pain hun!  I had something similar to this in pg....we thought it was a v vein as well but went to a gynae specialist dude and he said it was 'unusual pg swelling'. Lasted the whole pg and meant special cuddles was off the menu for the duration.  It hurt to walk, pee and sit. It ony went a couple of months after the birth too. Hope yours doesn't get that bad. If it's any consolation it didn't make birth more painful..as my gynae said (and I quote) 'birth is bloody painful anyway so it won't make any difference'.   He was right lol

That's one thing I didn't get during my pregnancy with Emily, but this time round OMG they started about a month ago. Seem to be getting worse this last week. I find they're more painful first thing in the morning, or after I've been sitting for a while. And I seem to have them only on the left side of things and up my bikini line. they really bulge out it's scary looking!

Don't worry found out...........and yeah ........ouch!
