Help me please?!

Question

For the past week I have been in the most agonising pain, a few days it has eased off but it is back with full force right now. It's a pain right in my vagina and all my pelvic bone sort of region.

It feels like someone has taken a knife to me down there! It's painful to walk or stand and turning over in bed is pretty much impossible. It's just taken me nearly a half hour round trip to get out of bed and go for a pee.

I don't know what to do as I am pretty much bed bound and I have no idea what it is. Does anyone have any ideas, or gone through this?

I am 36 weeks today and have a midwife appointment on Thursday so can get proper help then but I'm in so much pain it's actually making me cry which is really unlike me.

Please, any advice would be great so I can hopefully make it through till Thursday for my appointment.

Update ***

The pain comes and goes still and spoke to my midwife, it's defiantly PGP. My baby isn't engaged yet and it's likely to get worse when she does. Been referred to physio so hopefully that can happen soon.

I explained to my midwife that I almost had to wet myself because I couldn't get out of bed with the pain and if my husband wasn't home I deffo would have just wet myself (I know how disgusting this sounds) she told me that women have been induced for less so if it gets in to that state again then to consider that.

I also went to the doctors as the midwife told me to get some codine as the co codamol dosnt work. But she wouldn't give me anything stronger than the co codamol. Didn't think she would but the midwife said to try

Have you looked into the possibility of SPD? It's a disorder with your pubic bone. I have had problems with mine since 23 weeks. I still can't get up at night to go pee without giving myself 5
minutes to get up. It's so painful and the only thing that makes it remotely better is sleeping with a firm pillow close to my vagina between my thighs.

I've had this pain I want to cry when I roll around in bed and it takes me an hour in the morning to get up !! From the pain .. I've had it since I was 22 weeks and they told me it was normal .. the further along I got the more painful it became !  It's gotten so bad now that it literally burns on my bone ! And they still tell me it's normal .. I take Tylenol pm right before bed and it kinda helps me sleep.. but I have that pain because he is pushing on my bone and is down there ! The further down he gets the more it hurts but I've actually had relief a lot since my bones are becoming softer or whatever for delivery my bone pops a lot more and it relieves a lot of the pain .. but it hurts so bad before ! Ill be 37 weeks Friday

I've been having similar pain but not to that extent. It does force me to stop in my tracks but usually eases off for a while and comes back. Maybe get checked if you can't even get out of bed. Might be able to get some to help but I do know the pain you're feeling and it's very unpleasant!!

Answer

Chiropractor. That is all you need. Find a good chiropractor and pay whatever they want. I've been dealing with this wonderful pain for 10ish weeks. The only thing that relieves it is a visit to my chiropractor. My hips and pelvis were way out of wack and needed some serious adjusting. Finally after seeing her once a week I no longer take 5 minutes to stand up and start walking.

Answer

Sounds like Pelvic Girdle Pain. Can go by the abbreviations PGP or SPD, there are a couple of joints in your pelvic bone that loosen up and when they get out of alignment there will be lots of pain.

Ultimately if the pain is really bad I would call your doctor.

You may find some relief by never sitting on the floor, alternate between standing and sitting, make sure when you are standing that your butt is tucked under you and you are standing with your back straight, sitting on a yoga ball, and lastly when laying down or sleeping keeping a pillow in between your legs to help keep your pelvis aligned.

Hope this helps or at least gives you something to google to decide if you think this is the pain you've been having!! Good luck!!

Answer

If I was in that much pain making me cry, I would go to the hospital!! I wouldn't take a chance and wait till Thursday! Good luck, hope everything goes well and the pain eases up! It will all be worth it in the end!!
