Cant cope with this pain for much longer

Girls I am in agony- the hip/groin PGP is impacting every single thing I do. From sleep to work to even just watching tv Im in agony. I cant cope with this for another 8-10 weeks I am so upset. For anyone who has had it where its been unbearable- what did you do?? Baby is fine and I’m already in touch with a physio- what else can I do? Feel like there is no help out there for this? 😔

Ps anyone who had this in pregnancy before- how soon after birth did it go away?

This is ruining this happy exciting time of preparing for baby and our last two months ever as just us two! 😔😔😔

I got signed off sick from work and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done!! Felt super guilty but PGP is absolute hell and I could hardly walk after a few hours at work.
If you can I would definitely recommend, or maybe ask your employer to adjust your workload/ more sitting / more breaks / less hours? Physio also works & bouncing on a yoga ball 😊

I’ve been signed off work since 29 weeks with it and now on maternity leave! I use a yoga ball, rest as much as I can and use hot compresses on the area only things that take the pain away x

Feel your pain 100%, everything the girls above have said are great… I also started doing pregnancy yoga.. 1st session hurt like a b*tch but now it’s soo much better… I also got this belt a consultant recommended from Amazon babygo, I wear it at work and it’s been good so far!

Thanks girls, I feel at my wits end as Im already 3 weeks into using pregnancy belt, pregnancy yoga, bouncing on ball and doing exercises from the physio, also added in hot packs this evening for some short term relief. Only other thing I have seen was suggestion for chiropractor so will contact them…

I’m lucky I have an office job so not on feet much and only in office two days per week so cant really reduce much there. Guess I just never anticipated this kind of pain this early x

I’ve been seeing an osteopath for mine and honestly it’s amazing, it’s helped so much.

My friend was also suffering really bad and she went to an osteopath and she is barely in pain now!

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
