Midwife sent a list of things to bring to hospital for delivery. One of them is olive oil for perineum. I’m confused which one to buy? just regular great value one from Walmart will do?

So I started having very bad pain starting 28 weeks. And it came on suddenly! became excruciating. Now at 31 weeks it’s much much better and I wanted to share what helped me:

- changing trousers while sitting down (it does make a huge difference)

- putting on/taking off shoes sitting down

- changing shoes to a pair which is wide and has more room inside (eg Skechers Slip ins Wide width)

- cat cow exercise, bird dog exercise, birthing ball to sit, glute bridges, squats (as much as your body allows). Consult your doctor before any exercise.

- massage therapy and physiotherapy
