PGP

I’ve had pelvic girdle pain from around 16 weeks and I’m now in my third trimester - I’ve been basically house bound since then as I can barely walk, roll over in bed etc. just wondering if anyone else’s pain is more in their groin and thigh rather than hip?

In both my pregnancies my PGP has been in my thigh and groin, and also my bum. Never had it in my hip. Sorry to hear youve been struggling, have you seen physio and a chiropractor?

Maybe give a pregnancy osteopath a try if the physio didn’t help too much!

Yes the physio really helped me in my second pregnancy, I got one to one appointments every 2 - 4 weeks. But in my first pregnancy I only got sent to a group for people with PGP and it didnt help at all. I really believe the mixture of a good physio and an antenatal chiropractor made my pain much more manageable this time. Id recommend paying to see a chiropractor if you can afford it - just make sure they are antenatally trained x

Mine was in my hip w my first and towards the end it was my pubic symphysis (right in the center of the pubic bone) and i literally felt it grinding every time i took a step. It was absolutely awful. This time it’s only in my hip and SI joint so far

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?
