pelvic girdle pain post c-section

Hiya! I’m currently 6 weeks post c-section, since been 4 weeks I’ve started having pelvic girdle pain and my bones cracking constantly, and severe discomfort with my pelvis that causes me pain when walking and severe discomfort laying in bed, i find that after a walk is when the discomfort is worse and it puts me down for the rest of the day I am seeing the doctor about this issue tomorrow
But I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and what they have found that improves this? Thankyou🧡

I’m also experiencing this 2.5 weeks post section x

I'm experiencing this. I'm being seen by physio and was given exercises to do, it's just trying to do them with a velcro baby has been the tricky stage!

Sorry you are struggling with this too. I had severe PGP in SI joint / tail bone in pregnancy and then improved post c-section but started getting worse week 4 and got severe again week 6. So hard to manage when caring for a baby too. I’m not managing to carry him. Seeing physio and osteopath now and has improved slightly so far (9weeks)

I had this with my first baby after c section. It got progressively better but I'd say I still had the clicking until around a year after then it completely went. I never saw a professional about it but I imagine it's a hormone/ strength based thing. Are you breastfeeding? I was told that the hormone relaxin which cause pelvic girdle issues stay in the body for longer when you are breastfeeding x

Horrible name choice

So my son is Abel, my daughter is Blair, now I’m pregnant without third and my husband is SET on Cain….. however my MIL and my sister are both like No No you CANT have cain and Abel ( we are not religious at all!!) but I do kinda like Cain…. Bad idea or don’t give a shit what people say?

C-Section Recovery

Hello, just wondering when everyone started to be able to do things after having a c-section. Im on day 10 and feel like I still can do much. Not able to go out and about, not bend down and do normal things. Only able to just walk about in the house.

First menstrual cycle

I finally had my first period since I gave birth in May. I’m currently on day 11, and it’s still extremely heavy. This is the worst I’ve ever felt. Honestly, I’d rather give birth again than endure this pain.
