Hi,


There is an older thread on this but was wondering if anyone had any up to date recommendations for people to help with worsening pelvic pain in pregnancy - physio, osteopathy, massage. I'm currently 28/40 into my second pregnancy and it's starting to get worse and really limiting my walking so I'm trying to be pro-active. My GP has referred my to King's but have been told this might be 2-4 weeks.


Thanks,


Nicola

Hello, I had SPD in my first pregnancy and was referred to Kings, just to warn you - it's a group session, and you get told to do exercises. I found doing exercises, incl pelvic floor, and following advice on the Pelvic Girdle Partnership really helped, and I also saw an Osteopath and physio privately - Russell on Crystal Palace Road (dulwich physio) who helped. I'm currently 16weeks pregnant again and it's back already - my midwife recommended I book in with the pregnancy clinic at the school of osteopathy in Borough. Worth a try? http://www.bso.ac.uk/information-for-patients/how-to-make-an-appointment-at-the-bso-clinic/

I recently posted and received some really helpful advice. Definitely don't wait for the NHS/ GP referral.. I've been seeing an osteopath once a week and she's wonderful. I now have an appointment to see a physio at St Thomas's but it's 6 weeks after I initially went to the GP I was in a lot of pain but the osteopath has been great. I go to the charity one in Wandsworth which is specifically for children and pregnant ladies.

Hi

I came down with pelvic girdle pain 3 weeks before my due date. It was full on agony. I did 3 acupuncture sessions with Tracey Goulding (her practice is on Bawdale Rd) and 3 physio sessions with Emma at EH Physio on Lordship Lane. Both excellent. I went into the birth with no pelvic girdle pain.

Good luck.

    • A long overdue review for Niko who we have used a number of times over the years, sometimes to properly finish a job that other plumbers have not done properly. He thinks of everything! I only ever use another plumber if it's urgent and Niko is away. A really kind and thoughtful man and totally trustworthy 
    • At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country. 
    • why not have a pasty shop - we could have Cornish pasties, Jamaican patties, empanadas from all the different regions.... I like all three.  I'm still going to support the Chacarero family business, as I don't support chains, just as I don't buy anything from Gail's, Nero, Starbucks etc.
    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
