What is this pain?

[Gayle30]

Toooooo much info but..... I feel like I have been kicked in my lady bits. Inside and out. I'm sore after I've been lying down, hardly had much sleep for a few days and when was carrying bags back from the shops yesterday I felt like I was waddling. My whole pelvis is aching. Paracetamol seems to take it away at the moment, but it comes back frequently.

I'm thinking it's maybe cause I've had a busy few days, a night out n very high heels, moving furniture, cleaning, ironing etc. but I have things to do. I took this week off to get my house in order before I go on hols in 2 weeks.

Really going to try and rest as much as I can over the next few days as we have an 8 hour drive on Saturday to Wimbledon. Just wondered if anyone knew what it is?? A friend suggested SPD but m not sure that's what it is, I am at the midwife next week, will ask then. Thanks n advance! Xx

Give your MW a call tomorrow if you can - if it is SPD then the sooner you are seen the more they can do! Ask to be referred to a physio if she doesn't suggest it.....
In the meantime, try and rest as much as possible, keep your legs together as much as possible, try and avoid stairs as much as possible, don't cross your legs, sleep with a pillow between your knees.....

Hope this helps a bit xx

It does sound like SPD, but it can also be a UTI ... give MW a call tomorrow.

In the meantime, a hot bath (not too hot .. don't boil baby!) and lots of rest xx

I think what 1stbump12 said is spot on. Hopefully it is just a case over over doing it but if it isn't it is best to get it checked asap. At least paracetamol is working for you and keeping your legs closed as much as possible is good advice if it is SPD. Glad you are at least enjoying your time off though - Ive over done it today painting the nursery but if I don't do it now I'm worried I wont be able to later. Let us know how you get on with the midwife.X

Thanks girls. I will try all that. I've been feeling it since Sunday and wasn't really sure if it was anything or nothing. I have been up and down my stairs like a yo-yo today. Completely gutted my bedroom and wardrobe and got all my pre pregnancy clothes put away. Doesn't look like Scotland will have a summer so they aren't needed. Plus they don't fit!

Have to say, I am enjoying being off work. Although I've done more in 4 days than I ever do at work! Clearly Im most suited for non manual work! Lol.

Oh and I can assure you, my legs are firmly together......that's what got me into this state in the first place poor OH. He's even said he might sleep in the spare room cause my tossing and turning is driving him nuts. Yep, me too!

Time for that bath, paracetamol and the last round of my tea. Can't eat much in one god these days. Oh it's a joy xxxxxxx

hey crazy lady hope you feel better soon and try and rest I know you want to get things done but theres another day coming. I had great plans for tonight to do this that and the other and its just not happened as I feel physically drained sure its just lack of sleep last night

hope your bath helps and of course the Pracetamol. Im in the same boat as you with not eating much these days there is just too much minion in there to leave room for alot of food lol xxx

Baths not helped boo. Bed tho, Stewart is already planning his escape! Defo phone mw tomorrow. Just spoke to my mum about it- she had terrible trouble when carrying us....oh so now she tells me! It's like a secret society! She said she ended up on crutches hope to god its just me being too busy. But the thought of the long drive is not fun!

I've managed half my tea and then when I went back for more I couldn't face it...so had 2 cookies and milk instead! Yum. Hope u and minion are ok. Xxx
