Hi , I can totally sympathise, mine developed into a varicose vein that bled. What Maz said about putting something cold on it helps. I used to have a lay down and put a cold pack over the top of my panties(not inside,tooo cold!) and it woudl releive the pain. PLus just keep your legs up as much as you can, and DONT SQUAT! it puts extra pressure on it.

As soon as baby is born you will find it miraculously disappears.

Goodluck.
