SPD/PGP Support thread

You may find taking it easy helps to settle it down.

TBH I didn't find the labour with the induction any more difficult than the 1 st 2, but I guess everyone is different.

I was struggling a lot last time tho.

Hope it settles down soon hun

I was wondering if someone here could help me, I don't see my doctor untill a few weeks from now
but I had pains my legs early pregnancy but the last few days my pelvic area is killing me, it hurts to walk,roll over in bed, sit down, everything!
could this be SPD/PGP?

it sounds like it could be preggo eggo.

I went swimming today, made me soooo much worse! wouldnt recomend!

Sorry u suffered swimming Zara but thanks for the info. I was told swimming was ok so long as avoid breast stroke, but I had doubts about my ability to actually get in the pool.

Won't even bother trying now.

I saw my GP yesterday who happily signed me off for 4 weeks. That takes me to about a week and a half before my annual leave/maternity leave starts, so just before Christmas I'll have to pop in again to get that last bit covered.

I'm so glad I went through the trouble of doing it though because I'm getting more pelvic/pubic pain than I had previously. My midwife's referred me to the physio, so I guess I'll be waiting to see when that appointment comes through. In the meantime, I'm going to try aquanatal - it's something I've been wanting to do (I've done aqua aerobics before and loved it, and I love the water) but couldn't because of session times conflicting with my work schedule.

I just feel bad now that I've left work one nurse down, and I really enjoy what I do.

Don't feel bad hun, u have to do what is best for you & baby. I really fancied aquanatal , but not sure I'd actually manage to get in the pool

As long as there's a ladder, I figure I can lower myself in on that with my back to the pool (I'd be getting out the same way anyway - no more hauling myself up onto the side!). It's either that, or they're going to have to use one of those nets the use for whales to get me in because I reeeeeally wanna relax in the water.

I've found my gym ball really helps, sitting on it really eases the pressure on your hips.

I have a ball. I really need to make myself use it.

I find jus 5-mins helps, just sitting & gently rockin around ease things. Seems to take presure off hips
