question: I am 5 months pregnant and about a month ago I started feeling really sore around my vaginal lips. No burning or pain when I pee, just aching on my lips (especially towards the front of my body) and on my buttox right around my vaginal opening. I also started experiencing lower abdominal cramps. All of these symptoms just keep progressing, until last night I tried massaging myself and my vaginal lips swelled up afterwards to the point where I couldn t close my legs. Please tell me if this is normal or if I need toget into the doctor now.
