It was my second pregnancy where my Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) got really bad. This time it kicked in at 14 weeks. I got referred to physio, and it wasn’t helpful at all. I was told to “go home and do some exercises.”
I went home thinking, “how am I gonna cope?” It was horrendous, I remember trying to turn in bed that night. Night-time was the worst because my body would seize up. It would take 15 minutes to turn in bed and get up, and my husband would try and help. I was in so much pain I just didn’t want him to touch me. I could hear my bones crunching and grinding. It was vile. I had to wall-walk to the bathroom and back, and then go through the rigamarole of getting back into bed.
I was in pain every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every single day. I didn’t enjoy a moment of my pregnancy at all. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Nothing helped.
