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.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
