I have got this in my 3rd preg so i know the pain your in! mine started hurting at 8wks preg! i have the stockings which are great if i know im going to be walking around heaps they do help alot but are a Pain in the butt to get on! I also use a cream called hiradoid, it can be bought in a chemist without probs. its used for raised painful scars and scar tissue and veins.
Unfortunetely it wont go away but it can be controlled by putting your legs up above your hips when you feel the pain coming on, 15mins sitting normally controls mine.
best of luck and hope it doesnt cause too many probs for you
thank you heaps for all your suggestions but fingers crossed it seems to have settled down.
I guess it was the inital increase in blood supply and has now got used to it. I dont have the pain anymore thank goodness but it is still bulgy and gross looking. It is also really dry and itchy but that is probably just the time of year too. Nothing a bit of moisturiser wont help.
I will keep your suggestions in mind though in case we have a flair up again.
thanks again
the witchazel helps with the itch too. You can get it at the chemist, it might pay to have some on hand, cos (sorry) it certainly will flare up again as the preg progresses. xoxoxo
