nixlo Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/84594-pelvic-pain-in-pregnancy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

monniemae Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 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/http://www.bso.ac.uk/assets/docs/expectant-mothers-clinic-leaflet.pdf Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/84594-pelvic-pain-in-pregnancy/#findComment-931082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate_t Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I highly recommend Russell at Dulwich Physio also. I thought the pain was just something I was going to endure but he sorted me out in two sessions (as with mine it was actually tightening of the ligaments causing the severe pain). All the best.

NannyAdelle Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,1595681,1595715#msg-1595715I 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.

HelloDulwich! Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 HiI 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.

Vik Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Sorry to thread crash but does anyone have any experience of pain post birth? My youngest is now 9 months and I still have trouble turning over in bed and pain after walking fast!
