The labia are folds of skin that are located on either side of the vaginal opening. Labia majora is the outer labia. Labia minora is the inner labia and is located inside of the outer labia.
The labia majora are relatively large, fleshy folds of tissue that enclose and protect the other external genital organs. They are comparable to the scrotum in males. The labia majora contain sweat and sebaceous glands, which produce lubricating secretions.
Anonymous, it is possible that what you are feeling and questioning is one of these glands.
Since you are planning to become pregnant, it would be a good idea to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist/obstetrician. The benefits are twofold- you can have a pelvic examination to diagnosis this and have a prenatal visit to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
