Ever since giving birth the first time my hips have been bothering me, I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this and if there was anything you did to help ease the discomfort. I am supposed to go see a doctor for it, but it's pretty expensive, so although I'm in pain sometimes I'm debating it. Looking for others experiences!
-
I wrote a band of some kind around my hips to hold that ligament in place! It was helpful and I still wear it sometimes but after a few months of chiropractic care, I've needed it less and less
-
I go see a chiropractor regularly, and it helps. It's a $20 copay for me.
-
My hips bothered me throughout pregnancy and post partum as well. I see a chiropractor on a semi regular basis and it has been helping me.
-
Occasionally! I have had a lot of joint pain after this one I just had.
-
Yeah, I couldn't walk for about a week after I had my LO. Things didn't get back to normal until after about a month or so, and several chiro visits. If you're not going to a chiropractor already, you definitely should!
-
Do you mean besides them just getting bigger?
-
I have a lot of random joint pain coming and going, but my hips definitely bother me more. I told DH that once we are done having kids I should go to a chiropractor and get adjusted & taken care of. I was thinking of starting yoga too… I did some yoga before and loved it and it felt beneficial, but who has the time with 2 kiddos!?!

@allison: I'm supposed to be going to a doctor that does more of a manual therapy type thing, not sure how different that is from a chiropractor but my OB suggested her.
-
@creativemomma15: You should go to the chiropractor very soon after you have a baby, while the relaxins are still in your system. If you wait too long after, the adjustments won't be as effective.
@Bao: Interesting! I'm curious as to what "manual therapy" is. Chiro seems pretty manual to me!
-
@allison: haha I have NO idea, she's a doctor at a spa type place. I will update what it's all about when I go
but I was just told it's not chiro....
-
My issues went away after giving birth but came back with a vengeance when I got pregnant again. My OB was going to recommend me for PT but then I miscarried and the pain mostly went away again. I can still feel it now and then.
-
@allison: you're right... I thought I remembered hearing that, but we really can't afford it right now :(. I did hear about a chiropractor in my area that is more flexible and "pay what you can" but I kind of what a personal recommendation to know its legit.
-
@creativemomma15: Do you have a local FB mama's group, or something similar, that you could ask for recommendations?
-
@allison: that's a good idea! I will have to ask around. I went to the chiropractor for a while in high school and shortly after and really benefited... Hopefully we can figure something out...
-
@creativemomma15: I'm in the sams boat, money is so tight.
-
I have hip pain when I hike or run too far. At nine months post partum it's still bothering me but gotten a little better so I haven't seen anyone.
-
@Bao: It is hard… There's not much wiggle room, but what are you gonna do, I don't have the pain enough for me to justify the cost at this point.
