39+5 and already suffering with PGP (got crutch , belt , ball etc) Last night had a bath and as I was getting out - 1 foot was on the floor and the other about to exit the tub when I slipped .. literally doing the splits over the bath tub… I saved myself so didn’t fall to the ground. But now I cannot walk 😩😩.. getting in and out of bed is the worst thing…
Does anyone have any tips for severe groin pain ?

I have severe groin pain. My midwife said birthing our babies are the only true solution unfortunately. I could cry from walking or getting in and out of bed/car etc. It's truly excruciating.
Really not long left now, hold on, we're superwomen 💪❣️

I’m suffering with PGP to from 38 weeks and it’s worse in the morning getting from bed it’s a mission and a half 😭 12 days to go but if he doesn’t come before or on his due date think I’ll cry 😢

This is my second pregnancy with pgp. Started earlier at 17 weeks this time. Also in crutches. Have you been given codeine or dyhydracodiene. These are both safe during pregnancy, its worth asking if you dont already have. It doesn't take away the pain but can take the edge off. Hang in there mama 🩶

Aw thanks ladies
no I haven’t .. she’s due on Tuesday, so feels I could/\should wait it out.
The slip in the bath has def done something though.. I’m hoping it subsides a bit, as I’m anxious as to how il Labour if I can move without crying xx

@Sarah do you know if you are hyper mobile? This is one of the reasons people get pgp and means your joints are more flexible than most. I think if you've really injured yourself you should probably speak to your doctor/ midwife now or see if you can book a private physio because it could go on after birth if you've properly injured something or labour could make it worse - hope you're OK! ❤️
