Are you feeling heaviness, pressure or swelling “down there” during pregnancy?
This could be v***ar varicosities: enlarged veins in the v***a.
These happen when increased blood volume, hormonal changes, and your growing baby put extra pressure on the pelvic veins, making them stretch and swell.
While common (especially in the second and third trimester), they can feel uncomfortable, achy, or even make daily activities harder.
The good news?
Physical therapy can help.
By improving blood flow, supporting your pelvic floor, and teaching positions and movement strategies, we can often reduce that pressure and make pregnancy more comfortable.
Send me a DM if you’re feeling this and want relief.
I’ve been there, and there are safe ways to help you feel better 💛
