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.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
