thats where my DH does all his reading too lol

I'm sorry you are suffering, I'm in the same boat as you so I can completely sympathise. But at least it isn't permanent and will go away once baby arrives

he is adimin that its my muscles not my pelvis and keeps trying to offer me a sports massage

I just explain to people that it feels like an invisible man has gripped my pubic bone and is tearing the to sides away from eachother. Sometimes, I genuinely wonder if labour could really hurt MORE

oooohhhh nonononononono a sports massage would only send you over the edge!!!! Your joints could be unstable and he could accidentally hurt you!! Have you seen a physio?? That can really help, also you shouldn't do things like hoover or brush or mop the floor. No heavy lifting and when you are walking use shorter steps. When walking up the stairs lead with your better leg if one side is worse than the other. In bed a pillow between your legs really helps. Keep your knees together when turning and when getting in and out of the car sit your bum in and swivel your legs round to get into the car.

ahah exactly, and he wonders why i keep telling him to leave me alone,
he tried it once when i had asked him to rub my back, and i started to cry cs it hurt so bad and he got upset, but still keeps offering
i am still waiting to hear from pyhsio i was supposed to be refered 6 weeks ago i saw the midwife on weds so ive asked about it agin, but i didnt get to see my usual midwife, im not holding my breath about ever getting reffered
tbh i cant hoover or do much of anything tbh walking to the shops is a big deal for me atm, but if it wasnt for my support belt then i wouldnt leave my bed
