I'm 25 weeks pregnant and my vagina's been
itching for a few days. Today I looked
at it and noticed two red bumps, one on
each side of the top part of my outer
vagina lips. They're red and itch.
They don't have white heads or anything.
My husband looked at it and they're just
two red bumps.
My husband and I have been together for 10
years, but we broke up for a few years in
between. In that time we both slept with
people, I used protection, he sometimes
didn't. When we got back together, we
got tested and we're clean. We both
don't have any stds. I'm wondering if it
has to do with being pregnant. My
vagina's bigger now and maybe it's because
of the sweat and rubbing when I walk.
I'm calling my Dr. On monday, but I was
wondering if anyone else ever had this.
I'm freakin out!!!

I looked again. They're not hard bumps.
It's more like two inflamed little
areas.
Help!

It could be many things and you're best to
have your doc check it out and make sure.
Because they itch (are they sore to touch?
Or hurt when you walk?) it could be an
infection or even just something as simple
as a heat rash or inflamed pores. It also
could be herpes - so do get checked! Even
though you have both been tested for
sti's, herpes is one of those sneaky ones
that can slip by, especially if there were
no symtoms at the time. It's nothing to
be ashamed of, or even to worry about.
Your doc will be able to treat you for
whatever it is. Congrats on your
pregnancy!

They don't hurt, they just itch. Since
i've been pregnant I don't shave it as
much as I use to. So, the hair has been
growing back the last few days and maybe
the prickly hair rubbing the lips are
causing it to be irritated. It's just a
tender, pink bump that itches when I touch
it, not all the time. It doesn't have a
white head or anything.
Thanks for the reply.

Since you mentioned the shaving I thought
I would mention that it is very common to
have ingrown hairs cause an itchy bump
too! I actually made a panicked visit to
the Dr., thinking I had herpes and it was
an ingrown hair. Much relief!!
