Nah I don't think my mum had it - and she probably wouldn't have known if her mother had had it, and I have no living grandmothers to ask!!! My sister didn't have it and she's had 5 pregnancies (3 live children) but my #3 pregnancy was better than my #2 pregnancy, just because it was treated basically from the day I got my BFP.

But that is the main reason why I am stopping at 3 kids - its just too painful and stops me doing stuff with my kids that I have at the moment.

My chiro told me that there is nothing much you can do to stop from getting it, but it does help if your core muscles are strong - to help hold everything in place when the relaxin sets in. How accurate that is, I dunno, but I have no core strength so she might be onto something?
