Is this normal

I have suffered from piles all the way through my pregnancy and the presure of the baby is making them bigger.

Now i have also noticed around my vagina i now have bulging veins at either side. Is this normal and should they go after birth?

I know this is not a very flattering subject but i am very worried and not experienced any thing like this before :roll:

Hi,

I think you get these for the same reason as piles - pressure on the blood vessels which are already lax due to the pregnancy hormone relaxin.

I would keep an eye and just mention it to your midwife at your next appointment.
