PGP- Pelvic Girdle Pain/ SPD- Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction

PGP at 26 weeks

Hey guys
So I’ve been struggling for ages but it is getting to the stage where I cry most days due to the pain

But I am the manager of a pub! I am worried that if it progresses much more there isn’t much I can do treatment wise but to go off sick which really isn’t an option!

Has anyone had it this bad and been in a physical job? How did you cope or what did they do?

I had to go on leave early, was pretty much bed bound apart from physio there isn’t much that can be done 🥲 it’s so hard hope your okay x

When I was pregnant, I was a senior care assistant in a dementia home and worked 12 hour shifts, on my feet all day providing personal care ect and I had this from 11 weeks pregnant right up until I gave birth - the pain literally ‘disappeared’ when my little one arrived - I was shook!

I really struggled, paracetamol did NOT touch the sides (does it ever!?)
I ended up getting referred for physio, which helped a ‘little’. But I eventually my drs prescribed me a low dose of PRN codeine which was there for LAST RESORT (given the risks), I was petrified, but literally took one every now and again - this helped enough to help me sleep, and mobilise with some ease.

They offered me crutches towards the end, but I thought I’ve got this far what’s the point!

You’ve got this girl! Trust me🤍

Anyone else with a 3 month old?

This is my boy Ezra 💚

August baby - anyone having signs of labour approaching? 🤞

I’m 37+3 and will be induced at 39 weeks. Baby is wriggling and pushing against my cervix regularly. I’ve had some mild cramping last night and changes to digestion but that’s about it - I’m definitely in my “freeze mode” waiting for anything to happen 🙈🙈

Nesting

Anyone else's nesting out of control 😂😂

I've just spent 2.5 hours scrubbing/reorganising our bedroom and ensuite. Anyone would think I'm giving birth to Kim or Aggy the way my brain thinks this baby is going to judge me 😂😂

Cute German boys names - mission impossible!

So my husband is German and we are having twin boys. We'd like to honour the German side of them with German middle names but are struggling to find ones that aren't so harsh sounding. There are some we like, but know people well who have them and I don't want to name them the same as/after people (Sebastian/Nils/Mats all love and all out). So, your mission, if you choose to accept it...

How long did you wait to take your baby out?

Where I'm from, babies don't usually go out until much later. Personally, I'm waiting until he's three months old to take him out in public.

Give main birthday cake out?

At parties do you expect the main cake to be given out in party bags or to be eaten there?
Ive been to quit a few party's now and after the child blows out the candles the cake is put away and taken home and then other cakes given out or none!
My daughters 5th birthday is coming up and im planning on taking home and having cupcakes made for children to take home.
My thoughts are having cakes professionally made are very expensive and its doubtful the children are going to appreciate the expensive cake, which im guessing why others did this!
Thoughts?
