I heard someone mention PGP in relation to pregnancy, and I'm not familiar with the term. Can anyone explain what PGP stands for and what it means for pregnant women?
Oh sweetie, PGP (pelvic girdle pain) is so real and so painful! I remember crying sometimes just trying to roll over in bed. Just know that it usually goes away after delivery, so hang in there and take lots of rest.
Yes, pelvic girdle pain can be quite troublesome. Since I had thyroid issues too, I was always visiting my doctor and made sure to mention this pain to her. Always get it checked by your gynac to rule out other things and get safe exercises.
I felt so overwhelmed when this pain started in my lower back and groin area. I didn't even know what it was called back then, but then my gynac explained it's PGP. Honestly, taking small steps and not lifting heavy things made a huge difference.
PGP is basically pelvic girdle pain, which happens because of pregnancy hormones relaxing your ligaments. It's super common but you don't have to suffer silently. Go see a pelvic floor physiotherapist, they work wonders.
Oh is that pelvic girdle pain? I think I might have this too because my hips hurt so bad when I walk. Pls tell me what your doctor said about how to relieve it.
It is pelvic girdle pain, and it can be really uncomfortable around the hips and pelvic area. I had it in my second trimester and using a pregnancy pillow between my knees while sleeping helped a lot.
