| LMAO!!! Lizzie has it right.
I wouldn't be shy about asking my gynae about it. I used to be.
But I remember being wheeled into the theater when I went for my d&c. I was propped onto the operating table still waiting for the gynae to arrive. All the nurses about me doing their thing. I was wearing nothing but a flimsy hospital gown that was WAAAY too big for me and NO underwear. There I was staring at these 3 massive lights all pointed towards my legs. And ontop of that my feet were facing the doors which had a window in them so any Tom, Dick or Harry that walked past while I was under.... OMG! I really am so glad they put me under for that. Needless to say... after that day I really am no longer embarrassed about anything down there. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | The bluish discoloration is called Chadwicks sign, and yes is due to venous congestion. The swelling is also due to the venous congestion.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Oh yes, my bits are fuller as well, and seems to have become more so as my pregnancy progressed. My DH noticed this way before I did. |
