Hi just wondering if anyone can relate
I had horrendous pgp during my pregnancy where i has to get up out of bed to be able to change positions at night, i could not roll over without severe pain,
I was told it would ease after birth
Its now 6 weeks, I still cant roll over in the night without pain, and if i sleep on my side in the morning my hips lock and the first few steps i take till they click are agony
I have suspected for years i might have hypermobility due to joint issues (especially my hips) and im wondering if pregnancy has made it worse

Hi, i was the same during my pregnancy - I also had really bad sciatica. I went to see a postnatal chiropractor and it cleared up after one session. I would really recommend it. You could also self'refer / ask for a referral to a women's physio at your local hospital x

Have I delayed..
I am wondering if I have delayed sending my LO to childcare she is nearly 16 months and is still at home I have seen some comments and posts where mums are sending their LO's to childcare from 8, 9months.. i just hope i haven't left it too long and it doesn't impact their development. My LO is very sociable starts off shy but warms up and loves to play.

Not coping with the pain
Had consistent contractions for the last 11 hours, lost my mucus plug and went to the maternity hosp, was having contractions every 1.5 mins when I arrived there yet was only 1cm so got sent home. Baby is sunny side up. I can no longer bare the pain. I don’t know what to do, some of the contractions are so painful I want to phone 999. I can’t do this any longer. I can’t sleep through them, I can’t breathe through them. I’m struggling so so bad

5 weeks post c section.. done too much
Can anyone help me please. I had a c section 5 weeks ago tomorrow. I started driving Sunday and doing a bit more and I think iv done too much. The right side of my incision is so painful to touch. It's still scabby in places and it feels like it's pulling. My mum is coming to help me today but my partner has been on nights the past 3 nights is IV had to do it all alone so no real way I can just lay down.
Will I have pulled my insides? I feel like IV gone back so far I spent all night crying

Is the bowling ball feeling always present before labour?
I’m curious about the bowling ball feeling between the legs that I’ve heard people talk about 😅 is this ALWAYS the case? Because I don’t have this feeling so does that mean I’m defo not going into labour soon? I’m week 39 and I’m just wondering if I can just chill out and expect nothing until I feel that feeling 😂
(She’s low down in my pelvis and in the correct position though etc so I have no worries there 😊)

Early labour?
For two nights now in a row I’ve had bad pelvic pain and sciatica in my legs alongside period like cramping. Last night in particular the pain was much worse than the night before and made me feel sick. Woke up this morning and the period like pains are still there, this is a first usually if I have an episode like this in the past I sleep and wake up pain free. Also 3 nights ago had a false labour episode at night but that went after I slept it off. Anyone else experience or is experiencing this? I’m 38+5 💀
