Terrible pelvic girdle pain

My pelvic girdle pain has gotten so bad sometimes I can hardly walk after sitting/laying down for a while. I sleep with a pillow between my legs but that only helps but so much. I’m only 27+5 and it’s just getting worse as the weeks go by😩 anyone have any remedies?????

My OB showed us these stretches where my partner would put his hands in fists, I would lay on my back and he put his fists together on the inside of my knees, I'd then push my knees together against his hands as hard as I could for a couple minutes, then he'd move his fists to the outsides of my knees and I would push my legs outwards against his fists, it's a great round ligament stretch! Those, hot baths, heating pads, and Tylenol were the only things to help at the end, those babies TORE ME UP

My best advice is to move slowly and wear a belly band to support the weight of your babies

Mine been really bad too, I’m 29w with twins and measuring 42 weeks of it were a singleton! but seems to have got better this week, I’ve been resting more and doing stretches. Listen to your body.
I hope you’re ok x

are they measuring your belly at your appts? My doctor said she doesn’t need to because it’s pointless because I’m having twins and it won’t tell her anything about their growth 🙄 I still want to know how big I am 😭

@Hannah I worked in my OB office and none of our doctors measure bellies in any pregnancy anymore, it's not accurate as every person carries so differently. It's a little outdated, but some still do for whatever reason!

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?
