But I was able to manage with yoga and trying to stay active </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pelvic-girdle-pain#post-2034098 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 15:08:35 +0000 MrsKoala 2034098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get thee to a chiropractor! :) I had SPD towards the end of my pregnancy and going to a chiropractor weekly saved me. I highly recommend it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pelvic-girdle-pain#post-2034020 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 14:42:47 +0000 Banana330 2034020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: my midwife referred me, my Physio is actually currently pregnant! Yes, she specified an SI belt that supports your pelvis vs the ones that support your belly. I'm waiting to get it but once I do I can let you know if it's working and what brand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pelvic-girdle-pain#post-2034009 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 14:37:52 +0000 Snowdrop 2034009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has not been severe. But by doing this it has totally gone so thought it might help you a bit in the mean time before you get it sorted properly :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pelvic-girdle-pain#post-2033998 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 14:34:35 +0000 macintosh 2033998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: It sounds like I really need to get back to pilates and yoga!</p> <p>@Banana330: Forgot to ask, did your therapist recommend a support belt? I feel like one might help and I'm tempted to buy one asap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pelvic-girdle-pain#post-2033995 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 14:32:10 +0000 macintosh 2033995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Banana330: did your OB refer you to the physio or was it your GP? I may ask DH's therapist for advice before calling the doc. She's a PT genius! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pelvic-girdle-pain#post-2033805 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 12:52:42 +0000 Banana330 2033805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went to Physio for back/pelvic pain. It might be worth getting it looked at. Mine has recommended a SI belt, and stretching my lower back (child's pose) and strengthening my front ( lying down heel taps). Hopefully it helps, my pain comes mostly from walking, or moving from sitting to standing and varies from crippling some days to almost normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pelvic-girdle-pain#post-2033746 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 12:16:12 +0000 Snowdrop 2033746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My exercise ball has been great for all the different types of pelvic pain I've had during pregnancy. I found that hip circles and swings were the best. Bouncing doesn't work as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pelvic-girdle-pain#post-2033723 Wed, 21 Jan 2015 11:58:46 +0000 macintosh 2033723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After spending 3 hours sitting in an uncomfortable wooden chair yesterday (at work), my butt and hips are still killing me. I did some googling of course and I think I have PGP. </p> <p>I felt better this morning, but I was very stiff. Then I got in my car and the pain came right back. I can't avoid sitting, so I brought a lumbar pillow hoping it might help with that darn wooden chair. Even the office chair I'm sitting in now it comfortable on my back, but my butt is aching.</p> <p>If anyone else had this, what helped? I've seen references to physical therapy and support belts. If this keeps up I may call my doctor for advice but I'd love to avoid an extra office visit if possible. I've been too busy to go to pilates and yoga in the past 3 weeks but I intend to get back to it this week. </p>
