Pelvic/hips and back pain

Oh babe, I’ve had this too since just after 36 weeks! My pelvic gurdle pain is awful and is only on my left side.

I’m not sure if they’ll induce you early as they haven’t offered that to me and I’ll be 38 weeks next week. But it’s worth asking your midwife at your next appt or calling your maternity triage.

This is me currently - same with my last pregnancy. Utter agony all the time. They wouldn’t induce me because it wasn’t ’dangerous’ to myself or the baby. Definitely speak to your midwife about more effective pain relief.

I’ve been seeing a physio, have pelvis support belts and crutches and stronger pain relief- only when needed xxx

I had this for about 4 weeks!! Luckily the last two days have been a bit easier. What helped was shuffling when walking, making sure my knees were always close together moving in bed or getting out the car (basically keep your legs together as much as possible for your pelvis joints). A belly band sort of helped me restrict movement - I did some exercises they were very difficult so mainly did the pelvic movements on a birthing ball. Make sure when you sleep it's on your good side and put a pillow between your knees and your feet so your side is even and doesn't dip. Make sure you keep movement to a minimum but don't sit for two long. I thought a memory foam cushion off Amazon and that's really helped me sit comfortably (just googled what was best for PGP and got one of those) x
