Struggling mentally & physically

Oh mama, I had this. It is the absolute fucking worst 😭😭 and I'll be totally honest with you, nothing will really help 😩. But get a physio referral (they will expedite it for you due to time constraints), they may give you crutches which can help, try a pregnancy girdle belt. And what will actually really help is water, warm bath or swimming (even just walking in a pool), it's such a relief swimming, but be careful when you get out, it's temporary release and when you get out of the water, all that weight will come back down on top of you. Just know that it goes away really quickly after pregnancy. Try rest, you've got this, it's for your baby. Be proud of yourself ❤️

it’s nice someone knows how bad it really is! Honestly so tough and didn’t even know it was a thing until they told me. Thanks for the advice though 💖

Yeah it's rough 🤣🤣 it's what we do for our babies 🥴 hang in there. Physio will really help too with techniques for easing pain and how to move about. Avoid stairs too much. It's not forever. You'll be back to yourself in no time xx

I feel you on this, I have PGP and my god has it been hard and excruciating at times, I only have a shower over the bath and getting in and out of that is just well ooouuuccchhhh I have to put a stool next to it to get in and have my partner help and then get out so bloody slow with me holding onto my partner too, I get so embarrassed and just feel useless sometimes, driving im fine but getting in and out of the car is just unreal pain but I have to do it to get around and shopping and everything as my partner dosent drive, and after I'm done shopping and come home and sit down trying to get back up again well I have to hold onto what ever is available to keep me steady and walking up the stairs at the end of the day is such a chore, and I also can't lie on my sides to sleep at all I'm having to sit up with Pillows behind me and sleep I'm due to be induced today as baby is now a week late I really didn't want induction I'm so over this now I just want my pelvic back so I can sleep all snuggled up again TBC -

Continued- all snuggled up again ad I miss sleeping on my side and just being comfy but I also know it can take up to 6 ish weeks to get there, sorry I know that not probably what you want to hear all that but, you get threw it somehow you get threw the crappy pain because you want your baby you know why your doing it yes at times I just wanted to give up and break down and I did quite a few times but we will always get back up and carry on I wish you all the luck in the world x

I had a similar time. It is SO hard, I also had a 3 year old to entertain and could barely walk. My only input is know that it’s temporary and it will pass. Sending love x

no it’s nice to have some honesty. I hope your induction goes well. You’re right, it’s all worth it in the end 💖

I have no idea how you’re doing it with another child to look after, you’re a superhero! 💖

You will do it too!! Hope the next few months go quickly. Good luck x

@Lucy thank you very much, just gotta wait for them to call me and that could be anytime, if they haven't rang before 2 then I have to call them so going to be a long day on very little sleep because you know brain and over thinking things aboyt today had like 4hrs maybe but again all worth it x

I can relate. Get a pgp support belt. Another mum on peanut recommended it and its allowed me to continue training. Before I could barely walk or stand. Persevering with its help has allowed for strengthening and a massive relief in the severity of the pgp
