Pelvic girdle pain

Is anyone else struggling with pelvic girdle pain and have any advice on how to manage it? It’s particularly bad on my hips and gets worse from sleeping on my side at night. I’m waiting for a physio referral to go through but until then - anyone have any tips or tricks?

My physio referral was crap! The best thing that helps me on a night is a hot water bottle. I’m really struggling at the moment with even standing I just feel weak all the time it’s hit different this time for me and this is my 3rd. Do you have a pregnancy pillow?

@Tiffany yeah to be honest I’m not expecting great things from the physio… I do have a pregnancy pillow but it doesn’t seem to help with the pain at all, heat is defo a good idea

@Ellie they will just tell you a few exercises which didn’t really help me at all, and how to get into bed and in and out the car ect. I was also told cycling shorts because of the support but they’re not for me lol. I just ended up taking codeine and hot water bottle last time. But this time I keep trying to manage without. I really hope it works for you

God yeah the laying on your side… kills me :( nothing can help other than treating myself to laying on my back for a bit!
