What can midwife/hospital do?

[rainbow1982]

Hi ladies, I posted previously about bad pelvic pain which has subsided but only very slightly. I tried desperately to get a GP appointment but could only see the nurse who was lovely and said this level of pain isn't right and to contact my EPU (I'm only 19 weeks) is this the best thing to do? I'm just wondering what they could even do there? I don't want to time waste, nor do I really want to go and sit in that unit for hours as I recently went there with 3 miscarriages.

I'm just wondering has anyone been seen for this and been sent for a scan or anything that actually diagnoses it? I deffo don't want nhs physio and I'm currently trying to find a good chiro

I have PGP - if you don’t want NHS physio then there’s no point in going to the hospital at all as that’s where you’ll be referred. My midwife was the one who got me the appointment in the end and I saw an NHS physio three times. They were quite good, gave me some exercises and a belt, but the private physio sessions I booked myself were much better. If you think you have SPD/PGP I’d strongly advise just finding a good local physio (even better if they specialise in pregnancy) and get an initial appointment.
Good luck - it’s horrible, I know!

I also had PGP with my first. I was referred for physio by my midwife x

Thanks ladies, my experience with nhs physio has been really rubbish, they've just given me exercise sheets which I can get myself as I can read so therefore can find these online! 🙄winds me up because it's such a fantastic and useful profession but the nhs ones seem terrified to actually touch people! I'll find a private one thankyou 👍😁
