Vulval varices, I desperately need your coping mechanisms

They're so so so so sore!! I'm only 23 weeks with DC2 and there's so much pressure on my undercarriage from the swollen veins it feels like my episiotomy scar is going to split. I'm struggling so much to go to the loo that i'm doubting whether or not i'll be able to push when in labour.

I think the main problem is i have a physical job that requires me to be on my feet for 9 hours a day. There is no scope for me to have a more sedentary job as that doesn't exist in the area i work in.

I need some ideas to help me get through the next few weeks! The John Wayne hobble is beginning to get me down a bit.
