Sensitivity "down there" during pregnancy? (TMI alert)?

Sensitivity "down there" during pregnancy? (TMI alert)?'sigh' Lately it seems like everything is irritating my "parts". Wiping hurts, drying hurts, soaping hurts, etc. I have to pat everything dry instead because of the sensitivity. I even have a tiny cut on one of the labia, which bleeds when I wipe, and even the back end is sensitive. Initially I thought all that irritation might be an infection, but I've had no change in discharge or odor, and the irritation is localized in certain areas (mostly labial), but not the vaginal canal. Has this ever happened to any ladies here? Any advice? Thanks so much!

(Yes, I am positive it is not herpes. My husband and I are both monogamous, and we have not had intercourse for a few months. This has only been going on for a week.)

Sounds simply like it's from hormonal changes. Talk to your doctor, s/he can probably suggest a good topical cream that can soothe you, and is safe for your baby.

Did you get the cut from trying to shave "down there"? If so, that's what's creating the irritability. I did that once before I was pregnant... nicked myself "down there", could barely pee for a week, it sucked. lol It will heal itself in a week or so. I'd stick to just cleaning it with warm water right now and no soap (to prevent irritation, or you can use one of those feminine soaps that are made specifically for a woman's area... just don't use regular soap).
