Sorry I havnt been on only been able to get out of bed today!
Before I go on I just wanted to say congratulations to all you new mums
Also This is going to be abit TMI but I am telling you all this so that if you find something similar you can get it sorted straight away!
Ok well in April this year I found a small lump in the inside of my labia, which I then found out was a cyst ( thank god !) the doc gave me some anti biotics and said it should clear up (I found out it was called a bartholins abscess), well it didnt and then went into an abscess and my one lip swelled and become very sore, I was in so much pain I couldnt sit down it was an awfull experience
I ended up in hospital and in the worst one at that I was treated terribly, I had the abscess drained and it was all over! well I though it was !
I then found out I was pregnant and I still had a tiny bit of the lump left but the doc said it will be fine and shouldnt return and was shocked that they didnt remove it at the time but assured me ill be ok.
Last monday evening I was sat on my birth ball and felt really sore, I inspected
and then found the lump had returned and I knew straight away I was going to be in for a ruff ride again!
I went to the docs the next morning, and he gave me some anit biotics and said ill be fine, well again I wasnt! I ended up having to go into hospital wednesday night in agony, I was in so much pain and all they could give me was pethidine, well I can tell you know that stuff is bloody amazing! but I wouldnt like it in labour I couldnt concenrate on anything so was right for the pain I was in!
Thursday morning I woke up to what looked like I had a flamming brick in between my legs it was a scary sight I tell ya, even the nurses were pulling faces and one even gave me a cuddle ( i was in a much nicer hospital!) That day I had to go to surgery because it was so bad so they could drain again, I wasnt able to go to sleep because of the risk of premature labour so I had to have a spinal block ( it was horrible I would hate to have a ceaserian (sp).
They still couldnt remove it as im pregnant, and could hemorrige (sp) if they did so I have to wait till all this happens again ( if it does ) before they remove it totaly
Well I got home friday and as ther was alot of edema swelling I could hardly walk I have been in bed sinse then and unable to do alot, but today its gone down quite alot and im much more mobile!.
This only affects one in four women and isnt common at all, but please if you find anything like this down stairs get it checked out straight away!
I wouldnt wish what I have gone through on my worst enemy it was horrible.
Sorry so long and grahic but I just don't want anyone else to go through it!

any I find asap in a hot bath with epsom salts have kept them at bay but I have 2 at the min that I am keeping my eye on and I certanly do not want to end up in hozzie like you did! I didn't know they could get so bad so thank you for posting this! I may go and see the GP for anti-biotics too!!!!!! 
i have two little lumps down there and am now very worried!!
, most who get it get it on the bikini line, Oh must say that if you wax your bikini line you are at risk also because they can come from ingrowning hairs! So look after your bits ladies and keep an eye on them ! 
or its going to be even more painfull than it has to be
