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?

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

Labour?

Contractions have been regular then seemed to taper off a bit. Screenshot from my app. Is this actually labour? Each contraction is very painful and im sort of trying to breathe through them but also sometimes having to moan. I'm shattered as I've not slept a wink so far tonight as its been ongoing on and off all evening/night. Should I call triage and ask to be seen? Don't want a wasted 40min journey 🙈

Successful VBAC welcome to the world!

Waters broke at 36 plus 4, after 36 hours of labour, including the most intense contractions and pushing that I thought was impossible (you’ve got this ladies!) followed being cut open and stitched back up to get her out when she was stuck, my darling daughter Loretta was born at 5 pounds 5 🩷

Second time round and still the best feeling in the world, holding your newborn for the first time 🥹🥹🥹

Head flopped backwards

Mums, has this ever happened to you?

My 9-week-old was being held upright and for a second I took my hand away from supporting his upper back/neck. He suddenly flopped backwards quite far and it really scared me. He seemed completely fine afterwards and has been acting normally.

I know babies this age still have wobbly head control, but has anyone else had a similar moment? I think I just need some reassurance 😭
