i've posted this query in the SPD thread and got a few replies, but thought id post in here as well just to get a bigger audience.
Has anyone used these and how did you find them? - given ive got approx 4-8 weeks depending on when this bub decides to makes its arrival, would spending the $189 be beneficial or a waste of money? i have SPD which up until about 2 weeks ago was 'bearable". now that bubs has changed position, i find i am in constant pain in the hip/pelvic/groin/vaginal/perineum area, but especially when sleep time comes. i have a preg support belt which is fine during the day but is way too restrictive to try and sleep with on. My physio suggested the SRC shorts but i wanted some feedback from those who have used them! I have also been suggested to try tubigrip - did you find this helped?
anyway, sorry for the ramble. any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I have been using the shorts since about 16 weeks (currently 26) and found them to be fantastic, I have gone from constant high levels of pain, to none at all.
They are very expensive, but well worth it.
I only wish I had known about them with my first preg.
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!
Negrita, what size are you? If you're interested in 2nd hand I can probably sell mine (if they would fit you!)... I THINK we're done having babies! I still have the box, they are tucked up inside it... Let me know if you're interested.
Sorry to butt in on your post.... just wondering nickle if you havent sold your src shorts yet and still want to id be really interested in purchasing them. provided they are the right size which im pretty sure is a Medium!
I'm willing to sell mine as well - I have to check the size tomorrow (they are in a clean plastic box in our storage room with other maternity clothes). They would be a larger size.
Src pregnancy shorts?
