"What causes Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP)?
We are still learning about the exact causes of pelvic pain but it is thought that this softening, along with postural changes, muscle weakness and differences in the movement occurring between the left and right pelvic joints can cause too much stress on the joints, ligaments and muscles of the pelvis. Normally when you lie down, stand up or walk, your pelvis is in a 'locked' or stable position. Women who suffer from PGP are thought to perform these activities with a less stable or 'unlocked' pelvis. The result is inflammation or pain.
If you experience pain on or around your pubic bone at the front, you may be suffering from a condition known as Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD).
Pain at the back of the pelvis is known as Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) or sometimes referred to as Sacro-Iliac Joint (SIJ) pain. PGP is often confused with or misdiagnosed as sciatica. Sciatica is caused by inflammation or compression of the sciatic nerve as it leaves the spine. This may be caused by a damaged disc or by pressure from surrounding joints or ligaments. Research shows that only one per cent of women, on average, suffer from this during pregnancy. It is certainly not more likely to occur as a result of pregnancy. We now know that the majority of women who suffer from significant lower back or leg pain in pregnancy suffer from PGP. "
