Pregnancy & Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP)
Tips to prevent pain and injury during your pregnancy:
- Avoid pushing through any pain
-
Move little and often.
You may not feel the effects of what you are doing until later in the day or after you have gone to bed.
-
Rest regularly, either by lying on your side with a pillow between your knees or sitting upright with your back well supported.
-
Avoid heavy lifting or pushing (supermarket trolleys can be particularly painful).
-
Performing regular pelvic floor exercisers and lower abdominal exercises can help to reduce the strain of the pregnancy on your back.
