So painful I can't cross my legs!

[misspope24]

Hi all, I'm 36 weeks pregnant and am experiencing and achy/bruised feeling from what feels like in my lady parts!! It may well be my pubic bone, but it aches do much after sitting too long, just now getting up the stairs was difficult as was laying down in bed with knees touching.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas what it is?

Thanks

SPD by the sounds of it. I'm 36+5 and I've had the bruised groin feeling since about 25 weeks, wearing a belt helps. And also everything feels swollen and like my insides are trying to get out, but not vulval varicose veins as such.

I sympathise, it's a bit grim! Sleeping with a pillow between your knees, keeping them together when you get out of bed, the car etc. Don't stand on one leg (get dressed sitting down). Your midwife might refer you to a physio but depends how quickly that could happen. My belt was £20 from JoJoMamanBebe and it's been worth every penny.

Try and keep a balance between sitting and keeping mobile. Too much of either will aggravate it.

It usually disappears immediately after delivery. Race ya

SPD. You're lucky it's taken so long to surface. I was crippled quite early in my pregnancy.
