Well, here's my update on the other erm, charming thread I posted earlier...lol  

I went to the specialist this morning and he said its NOT what my Dr and I thought it might be...(V.V)....but normal, albeit rather extreme 'swelling' of pregnancy!  He thought my fair complexion might mean I have sensitive skin (which I don't on my face lol), but that some steroid cream and local anesthetic (!!) would help with the discomfort. Hmmmmmm. He expects it to ompletely disappear after the birth and said birth was going to be 'bloody painful anyway' and that my 'swelling' wouldn't make it worse.  

So, all in all, a much better scenario that I originally thought but still a bit gross. We'll see how the cream works and if it makes my woohoo less sore lol. I probably don't need to fill you in on that lol but who knew pg could give you stuff like this?!
