Does si joint pain go away after pregnancy?

Question

I've been experiencing really bad SI joint pain throughout my pregnancy. Does this type of pain usually go away completely after delivery, or will it linger?

Swati Panda · Answer

I recently delivered and honestly, my SI pain vanished almost immediately after birth. Just try not to lift heavy things right now and use a warm compress.

Madhavi Oswal · Answer

Yaar, it actually got so much better for me after delivery! Just be careful with your posture while feeding the baby, otherwise it can flare up again.

Mine went away a few weeks after delivery. Keeping a check on your calcium intake and doing very mild doctor-approved stretches can help manage the pain for now.

Rani Unni · Answer

It does get much better once the baby is born and the pressure on your pelvis reduces. For now, try using a pregnancy pillow between your knees to ease the strain gently.

Suchitra Kumar · Answer

SI joint pain is common due to the relaxin hormone loosening your ligaments. It usually resolves post-pregnancy, but if it persists, consulting a physiotherapist is the best approach.

I have heard from my friends that this pain goes away once the pressure is gone. I hope you get some relief very soon!
