I still suffer from it and I'm 34w6d :( I don't know how to make it better!

Especially if you're still having sex, you'll be swollen. I was only ever REALLY swollen for about 4 days after sex. So if you're having sex often.. good luck lol. After I gave birth they gave me an ice pack which was a PAD, soaked in water, rolled up and put into a ziplock in the freezer. try those!

that sounds amazing! i need to try that :)

It does work well, and it's not OUCH cold like a cold pack. And soft when it melts a little. you can take it out of the ziplock or leave it in, afterwards.

You can also, along the same lines, take washcloth, wet it, wring it out as best you can, freeze, and roll/fold to a shape that works for you. A little damp after it melts, but still nice.
