HELP! Stupidly used hair removal cream and in agony!

Earlier this evening OH and I decided to give myself a bit of a tidy up as I have a clinic appointment tomorrow (I'm 36+4 and possibly discussing induction due to pregnancy induced hypertension). I've used hair removal cream throughout my pregnancy as I didn't want any embarrassing razor burn and it's always been ok, sometimes a little sore for a few hours but nothing too bad. This time however I am in absolute agony!!! I've never experienced pain like it! It is impossible for me to wee (which at the moment is every half an hour!) as it burns my labia so much. Honestly, I'm full on screaming through it and have been in tears all night. I have no idea what to do! I can just about get comfortable in the right position and it only hurts when I move, but how on earth am I meant to go to the toilet? Does anyone have any advice? No way am I turning up at A&E and my GP practice is closed now for a few days over Christmas. I'm also worried that they'll want to induce me in a few days and I can't even imagine how painful it would be to have internal examinations etc. never mind push a baby out of such sore skin. Please tell me someone has a solution. I have tried paracetamol, sudocreme, aloe Vera, cold flannels, weeing in the shower and so far nothing has helped.

Well a mixture of sudocreme and weleda nappy cream has helped ever so slightly soothe my lady bits. I resorted to peeing in the bath in the night, every hour.. was a nightmare.

That posted before I finished it...

It doesn't hurt nearly as much to pee, honestly felt like someone was pouring acid over my flaps!! I'm certain even a baby's head crowning can't sting that much.. I will soon see! It still burns like mad, but grateful to be able to pee without screaming the place down. Glad I can disguise the 'my foof is on fire' wall for the pregnancy waddle.

Never ever ever doing that again!!! Thanks for all your advice and sympathy ladies :)
