I've got a belt &amp; exercise ball arriving in a day or so. Hopefully that'll give some relief, but I'll call my midwife too to ask about a physical therapist referral. The mommies in my prenatal yoga also have an excellent chiropractor they use, so I'll look into that. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/relief-for-intense-pelvic-pain#post-2313009 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 19:12:30 +0000 twodoghouse 2313009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although not practical for everyone, going on bedrest was the only thing that helped my intense pain. I was pregnant with twins so had double the pressure weighing down on my pelvis. My pain instantly went away when I started spending the whole day horizontal, by one dr appt (where I had to be upright, obviously) would bring the pain back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/relief-for-intense-pelvic-pain#post-2312963 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 18:18:04 +0000 Finfan 2312963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did prenatal physical therapy. It was entirely aquatic based so maybe even getting in a pool to swim around (we did lots of kicking exercises) would help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/relief-for-intense-pelvic-pain#post-2312962 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 18:15:37 +0000 EBSC 2312962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 32w with my first and he's sitting so low already... I've used heating pads a lot when the area is specific, but really like the support belts. I think it helps more with keeping the pain away, rather than treating it once it arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/relief-for-intense-pelvic-pain#post-2312849 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:42:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2312849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Birthing ball for sure!! Heat/cold always helped a little. Tylenol, baths or showers, and physio also worked. My pain was worst until about 30 weeks, then I got a bit of relief until the end. Hope you find something that works for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/relief-for-intense-pelvic-pain#post-2312826 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:12:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 2312826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of pelvic pain and seeing professionals is the only thing that really helped. Sure, baths help some, but they don't treat/cure the issue, they just help the symptoms. </p> <p>Physical therapy and prenatal chiro worked wonders. I had to do them a lot though - several times a week for a chunk of my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/relief-for-intense-pelvic-pain#post-2312789 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 14:30:04 +0000 MrsSRS 2312789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Support belt, baths with epsom salts, lots and lots of cat cow, but most importantly, a good chiropractor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/relief-for-intense-pelvic-pain#post-2312788 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 14:27:24 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2312788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 weeks with my second child and the pain/soreness in my pelvis is intense. Getting out of bed in the morning is a long process, I'm uncomfortable most of the day just walking &amp; working (I teach preschool), and if I'm not slow/careful I'm in a lot of pain. </p> <p>My midwife says it's common; get a support belt &amp; take baths/tylonol. Is there anything else that helps, like using a birthing ball instead of sitting on the floor or chair? I'm worried this will get worse and I'll have trouble with labor and delivery. </p>
