Hi MuminTraining

You poor thing - I can understand why the pain is getting you down

I had very bad pubic symphisis pain at about the 30 week mark and wondered if I would ever be fully mobile again in pregnancy. While my pain doesnt sound as bad as yours, it certainly stopped me walking distances of more than 50 metres at a time. I could also forget about sleeping without my tummy well propped up and a huge pillow between my legs too.

I got a pre-natal cradle online and also used a belly bra (when it wasnt hot!), but mainly spent lots of time sitting in a lazy-boy. I kept doing my kegel exercises with a vengence through this period despite it being the last thing I felt like doing. I also visited a very good osteopath who would spend 40 minutes doing gentle work on my pelvis.

Then, bizzarely, it seemed to improve at about 34/35 weeks. Now I realise it was probably just pain assosiated with a big growth spurt and a big stretching of my pelvis.

I am now comparatively mobile and can walk to the corner store.....well that is if I hadn't torn my calf muscle.

Keep your chin up. I know the pain feels like it wont end, but the one thing everyone said to me is that it would (and it did).
