Experiencing this (now third trimester). Super painful, it was hard to walk and sit. Some things I’ve tried to help ease (it’s much better now after a couple of days):
- eat high fibre foods
- go to the toilet as soon as you feel it
- avoid wiping, best to use water
- use a sitz bath, or alternatively, shower the rear area with warm water for a few mins, a few times a day
- icing the area
- wear cooling pads (I used sofy)
- if possible, wear a long dress and skip the underwear to let the area breathe
