PGP at 12 weeks (UK)
Hi, this is my first pregnancy where I reach 12 weeks and I’m experiencing PGP already at 12 weeks pregnant, I called my midwife who wrote a referral to the maternity physio but she said it could take time to get an appointment.
How long did it take for you to hear from them?
How did your pregnancy go if you experience PGP this early? I’m a bit worried it’ll be hell for the next 2 trimesters…

Aww bless you. It is the worst possible pain ever.
Physio doesn’t really help. It can only go away once you have given birth.
However, when you sleep put a pillow between your legs. When you get in and out the car, sit first and bring both legs in the car, so the same when you get out.
Get your other half to help you as much as possible. Have plenty of hot baths.
Mine started around that time, my midwife said the same about NHS physio - I was lucky enough to be able to go private but in all honesty it hasn’t really helped. I’m 32 weeks now and it’s still bad I’m afraid. Swimming is the only thing that seems to help and rest. My physio said to try and work on my posture which sometimes helps - putting weight mostly on my glutes rather than hips etc.
