I wore the SRC pg shorts from about 20 weeks and, as the PP said, I went from constant agony to... well, not pain free but manageable discomfort. The day I bought them I was dragging my left leg around and sitting in the supermarket carpark crying because I couldn't walk in, the pain was so severe. 24 hours later the pain was so much better! Again, I was NOT pain free but I was able to go about my normal daily activities without too much discomfort. The reduction in my pain level was amazing. I highly recommend these shorts and I even bought the Recovery shorts to take to hospital. I have just stopped wearing the recovery shorts and I am sure my pelvis (and my tummy!) has recovered more quickly after this pg than with my previous two. Like the PP, I wish I had had these shorts for my other pg's!
