Q. Hi. I am currently 33 wks pregnant with my 3rd child. I have noticed for the past 4 wks or so a difference in my vaginal area. It is very difficult these days to look, so I am even more confused.
When I go to the restroom whether it be to urinate or defecate, I notice that I feel heavy in the area between the vagina and the anus. When I touch that area I feel like it is bulging, it just feels like it droops out….not sure that makes sense. I had a 3rd degree tear with my last birth and I have felt ‘different’ ever since. On occasion intercourse which includes penetration from my spouse can be a bit painful, almost like I have to physically use my hands to open that area for him. Do these things sound normal and if not, who would I discuss these issues with (what type of doctor)? I look forward to hearing your response and I appreciate the time you are taking to help. Thanks in advance!
A. Thanks. I think it is best to await the birth of your baby and see your GP at the end of 6 weeks, however nothing stops you from discussing this with your midwife and or your Obstetrician in the natenatal clinic, who may chose to have a look and discuss findings with you. This is however likely to be more meaning after childbirth, and perhaps after you have resumed sexual intercourse. There is a likelihood that you have vaginal prolapse.
