My current physio has said if it hurts dont do it, so thats what im doing.
Andrea, you said it so much more simply than me! That's where I'm coming from too. If opening my legs causes immediate pain now and infact any position hurts immediately then I don't see how being in those positions in labour could possibly be good. Out of all the positions that my physio has recommended, I reckon there's only one that doesn't cause me immediate pain (propped on pillows leaning forward on me knees) now so will see whether I can still do that closer to labour but it ain't looking promising. All the others are no-gos. I laughed out loud when my physio suggested I lie down with my knees apart with someone supporting each leg. I told her, "mate, I can't even lift my knees up and apart without being in pain, so that ain't gonna work."
