Pregnant and can’t walk!?

[PooWillyBumBum]

Hi all,

I woke yesterday with a slight sore right hip. It progressed throughout the day and by the evening I couldn’t walk on my right leg without it buckling under me leaving me unable to walk without help from my husband. I’m awake now at 5am because of slight pain when I’m lying down and pretty sharp pain when I try and turn in bed.

Any ideas if this is just another weird pregnancy related symptom or if I should try and get seen soon?

Should add I’m 37+1 today and was feeling absolutely fit as a fiddle two days ago!

I had something similar around the same point in pregnancy. A visit to a chiropractor sorted me out quickly. Basically the extra pressure on the body had pushed something out of alignment. I had a few appointments before giving birth and have been fine since my baby arrived (last month).

Thanks Ceejay that’s heartening. I will ring around and try and get an appointment ASAP!

Just wanted to update for anyone in the same situation. I went and saw an osteopath last Tuesday (and am currently waiting for appointment no 2) and she sorted it right out! I hobbled in and skipped out!
