The physiotherapist gave her advice about painful She developed symphysis pubis disorder pelvic joint pain. She went to physiotherapy and wore a My midwife has been really good, really friendly, I've had a pelvic condition, which means that one of the joints in my pelvis has been very achy and painful, and that started at about four months of pregnancy, but I was able to be referred to a physiotherapist up at the hospital, to get some advice. Though actually that was - I did have to sort of be slightly assertive in order to do that.
They refer you initially to a group session, so there's about ten or twelve women with a similar condition, and they sort of sit you down and talk to you for an hour, which was useful to know why you're getting the pain, but it doesn't actually help to solve it [laughs]. And what did they do to help solve it in the end? Has it been solved? Well, it's not the sort of thing that can be solved. It's more a question of managing it so it doesn't get, it doesn't get worse. Actually at the group session they were handing out crutches to the most severely affected.
They were handing out Tubi-grip to pretty much everybody, the idea being that you sort of wear this piece of Tubi-grip to keep all your sort of bits in place. And then they were handing out special support belts to people in the intermediate category, and to be honest I don't think I fitted into the intermediate category, but I - for me - was very assertive in saying that I would like a belt because I was still quite early in my pregnancy.
And I have worn this belt a lot, when sort of walking, and that does really help a lot. But I do, I do think, looking back on it, if I hadn't actually pushed I wouldn't have been given the belt. So then after the group session, if you're very bad, you can go and have an individual appointment with the physiotherapist.
And again, I didn't feel I was as bad as some of the women there, and I wasn't going to bother. But I spoke to the local support group for the condition I've got, and they said, 'No, you know, it's every woman for themselves, really' [laughs]. How did you find out about the support group? There was a leaflet about the condition, actually, in my maternity pack that I got on my first visit from the midwife.
I think in [name of city] they are quite aware of, of the condition. And the leaflet was very good for me recognising that I had a problem, that it wasn't a question of just normal aches and pains in pregnancy.
So it was an excellent leaflet, and it had the local support group number on the back. She had very painful symphysis pubis disorder pelvic joint pain and used a back brace and Why did you need a back brace? My SPD, which is symphysis pubic disorder. It's your pubic bone, it's where they crack, mine cracked.
The baby's bum was actually leaning on my pubic bone and cracked it. And I went into hospital with it, and I ended up on crutches and having to go to see a physio. And the physio give me a back brace and it went, well, I suppose it'd have to go round my back and then go under my bump and push my bump up to push the baby up, so that the baby was away from my pubic bone so that it could stop the pain on the pubic bone and so the pubic bone could like mend easier.
But I had that on for a while, and I was taking loads of painkillers for it because it was dead painful. I was on crutches, but then I stopped using the crutches because the crutches were causing me damage. I, it was raining one day and I nearly slipped with the crutches, so I said to my mum, 'I'm not using them no more, I'd rather just walk'. And, and I took off one day at a time and walked and walked, and now I, I feel fine.
I feel as fit as a fiddle, as if nothing had happened. How long did that go on for? I went to hospital with that when I was 32 weeks pregnant.
They said to me as well if the baby didn't turn within a week I'd have to have a Caesarean and have the baby out, because my bone would be too delicate to give birth. But I had that. I was using the crutches, and I used the crutches for all four weeks, five weeks at the most. And then I just give up. But they said it can take up to twelve months after your having the baby that your, your bone actually goes back to, back to normal, the way it should be.
But they've already advised me that if I do get pregnant again it's likely it will crack again. Because it's already cracked once it'll crack again with the pressure of the baby pushing down and everything. So I'm never getting pregnant again with that one anyway. The midwife did not recognise how much pain she was in from symphysis pubis disorder pelvic And I remember walking around for my thirty-eight week check, walking around to the surgery, which was literally normally a less than a five-minute walk up the hill, and down the hill - slight hill, slight slope, not a huge hill - and it taking me a huge length of time, taking me fifteen minutes.
I had to keep stopping and resting, and it was causing me huge pain. I'd just given up the car because I'd felt, it was financial, partly financial - I just put it off the road rather than actually deserting it entirely - partly financial and partly - and my husband couldn't drive - and partly to do with the fact that I really didn't feel safe because my bump was now actually literally touching the steering wheel. So I just didn't feel it was safe for me to drive, so there was no point keeping the car on the road.
But if I had still had the car and felt safe to drive, I definitely would've driven round. I was almost on the point of, you know, going home and calling a taxi or something, or getting them to come round to me. It was, it was excruciating pain. I had to keep stopping. And I went to this appointment, and now it was the different midwife, and I told her about this pain.

A fetal arrhythmia is an irregular heart rate — too fast, too slow, or otherwise outside the norm. It's often benign. Postpartum diarrhea after a C-section is normal. To relieve symptoms, you can place a cold compress on the external genital area.
However, in cases in which symptoms do not improve or get more intense, it's important to visit an gynecologist, who will be able to identify the cause and start suitable treatment. A urinary tract infection is a common condition during pregnancy that happens due to changes in the body that encourage the development of bacteria and fungi naturally present in the genital area.
As a result of a UTI you may have vaginal pain and discomfort, itchiness, burning sensation when peeing, and cloudy urine.
What to do: as it's an uncomfortable condition, it's important that you visit a gynecologist to get information on the best treatment, which may involve antibiotics or antifungal medication. It's also important that you drink plenty of water every day, follow a diet that is low in sugar, and wear comfortable clothes and cotton panties.
Sexually transmitted diseases, known as STDs, can cause vaginal pain in pregnancy, as is the case of chlamydia and genital herpes, and also itchiness and a burning sensation. What to do: if you have any symptoms that may indicate an STD, you need to visit a gynecologist who will be able to confirm infection and start adequate treatment, which can involve the use of medication.
The gynecologist will also recommend that you avoid having sex during treatment and that your partner also does the treatment to avoid reinfection. Vaginal pain during pregnancy may also occur when there are cysts in the Bartholin's glands, which happen due to an obstruction of the gland, which can cause swelling and vaginal pain, especially when there is inflammation in the glands. What to do: if you have symptoms of inflammation in the Bartholin's glands, it's important you visit a gynecologist, who will examine your vagina and indicate suitable treatment.
This usually consists of using pain medication and antibiotics, if there is an associated infection.
