thanks guys - I've been seeing a physio since it started and been using an ice pack since then as well as doing special exercises. I'm about to start special one-on-one pilates with her. She's told me that the prognosis is good. It's only when the pain starts to subside that you realise how much pain you were in before! I could literally only stand up for 10 seconds beforehand and after having a posterior labour, I think my pain threshold is pretty high!

Not sure how I would cope if I were to have a second child especially as my first will be a toddler which would make it difficult for me to run around after her.

Cross that bridge when we come to it I guess.
