Hello,
Thanks for submitting your query here.
In pregnancy, it is not uncommon to have some growths which are actually retained secretion of vaginal glands.
During pregnancy,the glands secrete excessive secretion which often remain retained and form the growth.
Another possibility is having yeast, which remain heaped up and form a swelling.
Just clean those areas with cotton soaked in saltwater. If the growth increases in size or painful,think consulting your GP for an opinion.
Sincerely
