Hi All :)
I've got PGP, i see an Osteopath twice a week and she has said that my lower back muscles aren't working as they should and so my glutes are constantly 'firing' so to speak! I don't have any back pain, but this is my second pregnancy and it's a back-to-back one so I'm assuming it's why I'm suffering!
I can't do much around the house without being in pain for the rest of the day! I get a shooting groin pain on the left and either side of my ass basically feels bruised all the time :(
I was doing lots of walking for mt 1st and 2nd tri but now since 30 weeks i just can't do more than 20 mins without pain. (34weeks now)
I've got a young baby to look after and even sitting on the floor with him to play or picking him up ends up hurting! My other half is amazing but he isn't around all day and by the evening I'm so glad to have him home to do all the bending and lifting.
It's mainly bending forwards that aggrivates it a lot for me, but I've realised that's what i do for 80% of things around the house! The osteopath says to rest etc, but i like to be cracking on with the housework and being out and about and it's sooooooo annoying i can't do it without suffering later!
Please help!
I do sleep with a pillow between my knees, i try to do less around the house. Has anyone had a similar experience? I'd like to know what helped you all!
I have my c section booked for 9th April, so not too long to go!
