    Re: Sore pelvis after big day out!

    Just updating! Things are getting worse, much worse

    We drove out to the bush this weekend for my nephews christening (6 hours in the car), by the time I took over the driving at the 3 hour mark, I was struggling to move my foot from the accelerator to the brake and back again By the time we arrived I could barely walk and I limped, shuffled, hobbled all weekend. I felt marginally better this morning (after laying down for 8 hours!) but then even sitting on a hard chair made it bad again. the drive home was rough, I tried keeping my weight on my hip and DH did most of the driving but I'm in a bad way I have a GP appt for the morning to get a Physio referral and hopefully can get an appt soon - I've taken the day off - there's no way I can teach in my current state! I'll call my OB tomorrow too, but I'm assuming that a Physio is what I need?

    I'm only 20 weeks... This can't be good newes for the rest of my pregnancy! And it's not like I can rest with two very active small boys and a hubby who leaves at 6.30am an gets home somewhere between 7.30 and 9.30pm!

    check out SRC pregnancy shorts.

    i am having similar issues and saw a physio on friday. when she held my hips on either side, i could lift my leg off the bed quite a distance, without her support i could barely get it off the bed. It demonstrated to me how some compression garment or wrap could help. She did some massage that helped the muscles that were tight due to trying to compensate. I go back next week again.
