Hey BB girls
nelle and bailey
you both sound like you have a 'touch' of symphasis pubis dysfunction...as Alan said the pelvic ligaments soften in response to the hormone relaxin
physios are great if you can get to one who is pregnancy specialised...they can provide a splinting bandage that provides support
again as Alan said avoid positions in which there will be pressure on the front of the pelvis and the join (symphysis pubis)
really focus on correcting your posture...we spend a lot of time on our feet and we can greatly impact apon pelvic function just by standing and walking...the following will help
Tadasana (Mountain pose)
2-3 minutes.
Tadasana teaches you the art of standing correctly, and increases the awareness of the body.
? Stand with your feet hip width apart, feet parallel and toes pointing forward
? Press you feet firmly onto the floor, balancing your weight between the ball and heel of your foot, lifting the inner arch and relaxing your toes
? Lift (activate) your knee caps and activate your thigh muscles
? Tuck your hips under, drawing the buttocks down and under, tilting the pubic bone forward
? Extend your arms down by your side, fingers long, palms open
? Lift up through your chest and allow your shoulders to move back and down
? Balance your head on your neck and allow your chin to tilt slightly forward
? Soften the face and maintain balance
? Allow the breath to become even and relaxed
Avoid squatting as this increases the pressure on the pelvis
practise an all 4's position, as this also alleviates pressure on back and pelvis
If you would like more suggestions I would be more than happy to help
