PGP/SPD 2nd pregnancy

[Goscat]

Hello! I'm currently 7 weeks with my second and I'm honestly feeling a horrible level of anxiety over developing pelvic girdle pain again. I had it from about 20 weeks in my first pregnancy and could barely walk for the last 10 weeks, it was so excruciating.

Has anyone had it in one pregnancy and then been fine in subsequent ones?

Hi @Goscat!

Currently 15 weeks into my second pregnancy and unfortunately just started getting the first twinges of it again... 5 weeks earlier this time round! 🙃

I'm not sure if you tried it first time round, but going to the chiropractor was quite literally the only thing that helped with mine... if your budget can accommodate it, it might be worth a shot.

Otherwise, it might be useful to look into specific exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles. I'm currently looking into this myself - if I come across anything useful, I'll pop back with an update!

Sorry I don't have a more positive story to share, but keeping fingers crossed for you that you manage to dodge it this time round! 🤞 x
