Am I too early to get SPD? I had pelvic girdle pain in my last pregnancy at about 28 weeks onward. A support belt helped. But this pain is different. Its in my groin, toward the right side of my pubic hair, and is painful when I weight bear on my right leg. I also feel achy a little in the centre of my pubic hair. Sometimes I have no pain at all, but if I sit down a lot or sit cross legged a few times a day, I have a lot of pain just trying to walk. I really try to avoid spreading my legs, but the sitting down a lot, I can't avoid when I have to travel long distances on trains. And I've applied for a few office jobs, and I'd be sitting a lot. I seriously hope its not going to get worse, otherwise I can't work and I really need to work right now, money is tight.
Unfortunately not Echidna. I wish but it does sound like PGP again (which is the new name for SPD) Get a physio referral ASAP and start managing it early!! Try as hard as you can to avoid crossing your legs and get back into the management techniques you used last time. I hope it doesn't get any worse for you
Ali, tell you what, I didn't know what PGP was until I was 37 weeks, because I googled. By that point, there wasn't much I could do, I was due soon.
Sometimes its comfortable for me to raise one knee and lay it flat with the other straight in bed. Making a P if I make sense. I shouldn't, but keeping my knees together constantly is uncomfortable. All the regular GPs are on leave, so seeing the doctor is quite difficult.
Will PM you a link that a lovely BB member PMed me. Put your belt on now though and try to remain symmetrical, even if knees aren't together, being even will help.
Thanks for the link, I'm reading it now. I loaned my belt to my then SIL, and I'm sure I won't get it back. It would be considered a gift. I'll get a belt as soon as I can, money is tight.
