Fennel seeds, or fennel tea, it helps with breastfeeding as well in case you are planning to do so. Good luck, I have heard the same about sex, stairs, etc, but when the time comes I'll have even more ideas great thread!

Massage! I don't know why I didn't think of this before. They know which areas to stay away from so if you ask them to put focus on these areas (ankles feet etc) it may help. Still sex, orgasm, and nipple stim is by far the best. Walking hasn't done me any good, haven't had even a single B&h twinge or anything else. shrug:
