Vaginal Pelvic Pain

[SmithC_95]

Hi all I’m 21 weeks. I have such terrible pain in and around my vagina and pelvic area when I move, roll over, sit to stand or stand then sit. It’s been there a good few weeks and I’ve tried to ignore it hoping it’s going to go away or that it’s normal but it’s starting to get painful now and it’s very very uncomfortable. Sort of takes my breath away when I move too quickly. Any advice? Has anyone experienced the same sort of thing? Please help ❤️❤️❤️

Sounds like it could be pelvic girdle pain. Best to get it seen to sooner rather than later as it can get worse for you as the pregnancy progresses. Speak to your midwife to see if they could refer you for physiotherapy? I found osteopathy extremely helpful when I had it. Hope it improves soon .

Thank you! Will it effect the baby in anyway? X

Sorry only just saw this. No it doesn't affect baby at all. I had it with both my pregnancies and my kids are fine. It's just so painful for the mother!!

I'm getting the same but at 16+3wks. But I'm fine when I'm sitting still. But moving/walking and driving I'm in agony. The doctor said it's ligament pain and siatica. I've been referred to physio by my midwife, so I'm hoping that comes through as I'll be getting signed off work soon as it's just too painful to do my job as a carer. Go to your doctor or midwife and let them know as it'll just get worse. Good luck x

Please please please get your midwife to refer you to physio and start yoga, I’m currently 31 weeks with SPD/PGP and it sounds exactly like that. Get an exercise ball too x
