A member asked:

I'm 38wks and i have really big vericose veins in my vagina that are practically protruding into a 3rd lip, will these affect my delivery?

Shouldn't: Those large veins in the labia can look very alarming - but as soon as the baby is born, all the pressure is relieved and they will decompress right away. There can be a risk of bleeding during a vaginal delivery - but it is usually managed easily. Talk to your obgyn about your concerns and good luck!

Limited effects: Small varicose veins of the vaginal region with pregnancy are common. Larger varicose veins like you describe are uncommon. The veins have limited effect on a vaginal delivery. Early ambulation post delivery is important. Vaginal varicose veins maybe associated with large varicose veins in the pelvis, internal. This could result in increased bleeding with the need for a c-section delivery.
