i feel like i have been kicked in the vigina!! what is it?

[sarahj]

my fanny ( sorry could not think of a word to call it) feels liked someone has kicked me it feels so bruised right on the pubic bone! it hurts slightly more on the left side and walking and sitting and crossing my legs is just so un comfortable. is this a pregnancy thing? this is my third baby and i never had this before im only 16 weeks i so hope this is not spd that everyone is talking about as i only in the early stages and it hurts so much already. im seeing midwife on wednesday is it something i should be telling her about or should i be going to doctor?

help!!!!

sounds like groin strain. Ive got that too and its quite liternally a pain in the privates. I always thought footballers were big donkeys for hobbling off with groin strain and now I sympathise. It comes and goes and though I will mention it to my midwife on thurs I doubt there is much they can do.

Take it easy and be extra carefull with your lifting. Easier said than done.

I get the same! i feel bruised a lot of the time! and when i walk for a while it gets worse. xxxx

Hi all!

It sounds as tho you have SPD. I started off as you descibed... it bloody hurts!! I could hardly walk come 8pm. I went to doctor about it and got refered to the physio.

I would defo recomend asking your midwife about it as I left mine as I thought it was normal for pregnancy - and now I have a very fetching, sexy pelvic belt to wear.

this website is quite usful:

Sarah, out of interest, did you get signed off work for it???

there are different levels of it too. i had it slightly with ,y third pregnancy, it got worse and worse as the day went on.

my friend had it so bad she had to have a special belt to hold her tummy up and she had crutches too.

I have that belt!! I am wearing it today!!

I have a belt to wear through the day that goes round your back and sits under my bump. I also have to wear a HUGE tuby-grip in bed that sits under my boobs and down over my bum. Very attractive for my husband!!

I wasn't signed off work - although I wish I was!!
