Breech baby = pelvic pain

I'm 34+4 and in so much pain....
Baby is currently breech according to last scan a week or so ago. (and has been since 31 weeks)
Has anyone found carrying a breech baby to be painful, or is it unrelated?

Paracetamol doesn't touch the pain.
Lifting my legs the slightest, hurts so bad.
Did a trip to get hospital bits today, I was crying just trying to walk at one point.

I can't imagine going on like this for another 5 weeks.
Help!?

Pgp. Google the pelvic partnership. Take paracetamol. Seek midwife support. You may find crutches helpful.

Right now, you may not be able to imagine the next month/ 6 weeks like this, but there are things you can do to make it not get worse. I'd find a good osteopath with previous experience with pregnancy (list of recommended practitioners on the previously mentioned pelvic partnership site).

The best news is that the majority of women see significant improvement if not total cure when they give birth or in the days that follow.

It sucks. It's awful. It's depressing as hell, but this too shall pass (I was totally housebound from about 31 weeks in my last pregnancy).

Don't do things that make it painful. Walking painful? Stop walking. Stairs painful? Take them one at a time or go up and down sideways or on your bottom.
