Having a shocker...

[Maggieny]

Need a little advice/reassurance...

28 wks pregnant with my 2nd, had a challenging time with my first pregnancy, severe spd, awful birth, complications with me afterwards, suffered post natal depression but have an amazing 4 year old to show for it...

Second time round, took ages to get pregnant, 5 miscarriages, been on crutches for 3 months - have pgp and spd (pelvis issues front and back) eye watering pain all the time, can't sleep, feel sick etc all from the pain.

Latest development is what feels like cramps, braxton hicks, trapped wind and indigestion all at the same time. I can barely eat (very unlike me) and just not feeling right. Regular baby wriggles, I'm constantly at the hospital for one appointment or another thanks to my useless pelvis, so want to avoid going up if seems normal - anyone else having/ had similar - what do you think be concerned and go up (now/tomorrow) or just part of the joys?

I sympathise with you! Terrible pgp in last pregnancies, happily (?) Only mild this time. I also had really bad trapped wind pains a couple of weeks ago that were so painful I thought it might actually be contractions! It was the only pain id felt like it before, kept coming in waves like contractions too, if its this a mumsnetter suggested peppermint tea & it really did help a lot. I've been drinking it throughout the day & haven't had such bad pains since.

Ok thanks - will try it! Yes the pgp is awful, I get these sharp pains that feel like a trapped nerve - did you get those? I'm up at the hospital tomorrow so think will try and ask about the bh - those and wind are. It a fun combo! Hope your pelvis lasts the distance :-) take care!

Meant not a fun combo...
