Hip/Pelvis pain - Page 2

Crashing from October.
I'm there with you. What unfortunately works best for me is to limit walking as much as possible. This doesn't help with my fitness but certainly helps with the pain. I never stand when I can sit and never sit when I could lie down. I work full time and have a four year old so the lying down thing only happens at night but that is what has worked best for me. The more I am on my feet the more pelvic pain I have (main is in the lower back esp.)

My physiotherapist also supplied me with a special maternity support belt (she says that the ones for sale in Maternity clothing stores are useless) which also helps.

Prenatal Yoga (in a class or at home with a video) helps with the stretching part. I use the one called The Method: Baby&Mom Yoga and sometimes only do the first 10-15 min of stretching (I skip the meditating). I also have one by Shiva Rae that is pretty good, but I don't use it as much. My toddler usually tries to do it with me too

Chiro about every r4-6 weeks has really helped but doesn't seem to totally get it every time. I'm dying for a preg massage!!!

Sometimes I'm worse in the morning after lying down all night even with a body pillow in between my legs. I think it's partly my mattress

HTH; This is the worst part of pregnancy, IMO
