"During my last pregnancy I had swelling there too. It worried me so I had my doctor check me out. She told me that I had varicose veins down there. The good thing is.... after baby and the weight loss the bulge went away. Phew!" -- CMOORE125 - 11/8/2012 4:13:49 PM
"Depending on the babies position, there could be pressure on blood vessels that is limiting blood return and causing swelling. Be sure to speak with your medical provider about the situation and to receive comfort measure recommendations." -- TANYA_BABYFIT - 6/10/2011 10:42:52 AM

"Be sure to talk with your medical provider about what is going on. They may want to check to be sure your thyroid gland is working normal. Pregnancy induced hypothyroidism is not uncommon but can make pregnancy constipation even more of an issue. Your medical provider will be the best to help you manage this issue if none of these routine options help." -- TANYA_BABYFIT - 12/29/2008 1:25:35 PM
"None of this helps me. The only wayI can get relief is to take a glycerol supository. What are some other alternatives?" -- ELTORO1 - 12/29/2008 10:54:37 AM
