Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You had swollen vagina..without itching/ redness & pain.. after a sleepng posture for 40 minutes in hospital & in tub bath at home.. I feel the swelling of vagina was nothing but dependent edema in sleeping posture . When you are on your legs, the edema must be shifting to your feet.
* Such edema at 38 weeks of pregnancy is normal & is due to body weight being loaded on feet while standing.
BUT it becomes essential to exclude problematic edema by checking- Urine albumin not present/ Blood pressure within normal limits 120/80 mm of hg./ Hb% within normal range ( 12-14 gms%).
Thanks.
