SPD/PGP Support thread

i sat on the ball at the physio i almost punched her it was well sore for me! i have most of my pain in my back tho so maybe im diffrent!

I have a ball but it doesnt really do anything for me-it doesnt hurt more but doesnt seem to help either. The best thing for me is to sit with my feet up & a cushion behind my back. If I sit for any period of time with my legs down, I can hardly walk when I stand up.

I find if I sit for too long, lie for too long, sit with feet up too long, infact do anythin too long it seems to make it worse, but then if I'm up & down all the time itmakes it worse too. I can't win.

Mines hips, thighs & pelvic bone, so I guess the ball just takes the pressure off it all.

hello ladies....not been about much this last week.....long story and it includes no electricity. but just thought i would drop in see how we all are.
i have now developed the clicky pelvis kinda annoying.
everything else is still the same just a little worse. Im really struggling to turn over at night now and I STILL havent had my appt through for my physio so gonna ask about that this week.

Crumbs, by the time you get the appt, you'll have given birth @ this rate.

lol tell me about it lol xxxx

Aww, don't wanna rub it in, maybe you shld chase your appointment again. My app came through this morning it's next tues, then I'm guessing a weekly thing until birth not sure though. It's called an ante natel class though so I'm guessing it's completly preg related and apparently they shld be measuring me up for a support band thing.We shall see. My pain is mainly groin area, inner thighs and the pressure you get when your abt to give birth on your pelvic bone, occasionally it radiates to the lower back but mostly right up near my bits.

Sitting too long makes it worse for me too,but saying that like you caroline getting up and down too often also doesn't help. I don't think my df is getting it tbh, cos he tuts everytime I ask him to get something for him, or carry Olivia up the stairs cos I find this quite difficult, climbing the stairs and carrying Olivia, I get to the top and just about stop myself tumbling back. But he's just being a complete numskull this pregnancy tbh.

Grrrrr @ men!

Sorry your OH is being so useless

My OH is the opposite. He won't let me do too much.

My DF was abs wonderful while I was preggers with Olivia, he just seems to have completly lost his sensitiveness. grrr

I asked my MW about this and she just said "yeah its because you are pregnant - thats what happens" and "make sure you dont let it stop you from doing stuff as its best to keep mobile"

I mean - its all well & good saying "dont let it stop you from doing stuff" but when you are in agony its easier said than done isnt it?

I made an appt to see my doctor & the earliest she can see me is thursday but im fully expecting to be fobbed off with the "yeah your pregnant - it happens - get over it" line xx
