General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

You need to see your gynecologist to check if it is some swelling of vaginal gland (in the position you describe). If it is you would need medicines to control it. In absence of swelling it can be some fetal pressure on local nerve causing pain in particular positions which would go as the fetus grows up in abdominal cavity. Please consult the doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
