I've had hip pain from 8 weeks on (I'm now almost 28 weeks) I've been in physio since 14 weeks to try and figure out what was causing the pain and if there was something that could be done. It's not muscular for me it's joint so unfortunately there's nothing they can do. I've been off work for the last 6 weeks (I work in a lab on my feet all day) the physiotherapist didn't want to see me doing any more damage then was already done. At this point I have crutches that I use when I go out for shopping (which at this point i don't do a lot since it hurts a ton and just doesn't seem worth it). So for the most part I sit around all day half laying half sitting. Nights are the worst, although i've discovered those wedge pillows for pregnant ladies and if i can rig it just right I can sleep halfways on my back. It allows me to get more then 30 mins sleep before i need to rotate due to the pain. I've tried everything that they will let me take in order to ease the pain but nothing works. We're on to accupuncture now to try and get some relief. I would take a day of less pain at this point, I don't care what I have to do to get it! My hope is that once I have the baby my hip will go back into position and i'll be in less pain (maybe even pain free!!!) and more mobile. I've been scheduled for a c-section due to my hip. The dr is pretty sure i would completely wreck it trying to give birth. So i only have to carry the baby to 39 weeks. Not much to celebrate but I'll take anything at this point!!
I know my story's not very uplifting, but just know that we have this time to ourselves. I know it's really grating to be in constant pain, and house bound for the most part. But we've got to find the good in it. I've decided that I'll stop focusing on the negative (my pregnancy has been full of testing little things) and start focusing on the positive (not easy to do but if i don't i might just very well lose it!!). I hope for your sake that there is something they can do, but if not just remember... We're doing this for a cause, the end product sure as hell as to be better then this!!
When we hold the little babies it will all be worth it
. I wish you all the best! Take this time to try and rest and do some baby related things that you may not have done. (I'm type A personality so it's almost killing me not to be able to do all the stuff I want). But that just means there are other things i can focus on.
