question: my daughter is 39 weeks pregnant and her ob told her today that she has a vaginal ring that is causing her vaginal walls to stay hard. her baby is now aprox 8 lbs(according to ultrasound performed today) and the doctor is telling her it could take 3 weeks for this condition to subside. what could be the reason for her to have this and what can she do to help her vaginal walls to soften and thin?
