Should I mention this to my dr? TMI

Last night I was shaving my downstairs area and noticed it felt weird. I tried using a mirror to see, but couldn't see anything so I asked dh to look. He says my lips are extremely swollen and red. It's not painful at all, just very, very swollen.

I have an appt with my OB this morning. Should I mention it to him? Or is this normal? I'm 33w3d.

Swelling is normal down there but IDK about "extreme" swelling or redness, so deff let the doc know.

How far along are you? Im almost. 39 weeks and i e had that for a few weeks now...When the baby is low, it pushes down and with the extra blood flow it almost feels like you can "cup" your vagina....

Yea, I think it's normal. I had it both pregnancies.

You could mention it, but like others have said, it's normal. Sometimes I have so much pressure it almost burns, but then she'll either move her head or i'll change positions and it's better.

This is normal! I was just reading about this last night in my pregnancy book. LOL. It is all of the extra blood flow down there. No reason to worry. Some women even feel that it hurts, but it is normal.
