I was advised to your pregnancy support tights, although they didn't really help. Ice was the best. Try filling a condom with half water/half vodka. Tie it and stick it in the freezer. This will not freeze solid due to the vodka and you can stick it in your undies (like an icy pop pad ) which should provide some relief.
I saw this thread a while back and thought, "ooh-er. That sounds horrible. And how would you be able to tell?"
Well, I've been getting... 'chafing' with my regular bikini style knickers - just very top of thighs (have been wearing M's boxers instead!) and feel very swollen down there, so I got the mirror down from the laundry and had a look and
GOOD GRIEF! It's awful!
I've also got slight SPD which is niggling more than it was, and now these bulging veins! Eeek! So I'm guessing by the thread that Beatrix linked to it's a matter of rest and more rest - I'll try the condom thing and I've got a midwife appt in about 10 days so I'll chat to her then. The last time I was at the FBC they recommended the physio, I might go this week if I can get there to see what they recommend.
Seriously, you guys. This pregnancy. M doesn't believe it's the last one, but it's The Last One.
