Labia Logic Gets Knocked Up: Pregnancy Edition
What exactly happens to the vulva during pregnancy? Why does no one warn you about the swelling, discharge, pressure, and occasional “lightning crotch”? Is all that extra sensitivity normal? And when should a change actually earn a call to your OB?
In the Pregnancy Edition of Labia Logic Gets Knocked Up, Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure explain how pregnancy hormones, increased blood flow, pelvic pressure, and a rapidly changing body can affect the vulva and vagina. From darker or swollen labia and vulvar varicose veins to yeast infections, hemorrhoids, pelvic floor changes, and pregnancy discharge, the hosts share candid answers with their usual mix of medical expertise, reassurance, and zero shame.
Ashley and Meredith cover which vulvar and vaginal changes are common during pregnancy, why estrogen and progesterone deserve some of the blame, and what can help ease throbbing, pressure, constipation, and discomfort.
They also cover sex during pregnancy, safe treatment options for vaginal infections, herpes management before delivery, and warning signs that should be evaluated by a medical provider.
