I had a painful hip earlier in pregnancy, and my midwife suggested I contact a physio, which I never got round to doing, although I have done so now and have been given an appointment for 21st July.
This is my second baby, and with DD I had an incredibly painful lower back and ended up on coedeine (sp?). This time, my back has not been bad at all, but the hip pain has spread around my pelvis and now the whole of the front, under the bump, is incredibly sore. I wondered whether this might be SPD, and what is likely to be the outcome of the physio appointment in a few weeks' time (if I can make it that far!).
I have trouble standing, sitting, walking, turning over in bed, going upstairs, getting in and out of the car etc. I have been wearing the elastic support I had last time for my back, but I am now at the point where DD (2.6) says to me "do you need some help getting up, Mummy!" (bless her she tries to help pull me up from my chair, which she has seen DH do!)
Also, waiting to the 21st seems ages, and I know it is my fault really for not going in sooner, but I wondered if anyone has any alternative suggestions. Should I see my GP? With a toddler, it's getting a bit awkward.
