The Truth About Pelvic Girdle Pain Pregnancy
While bringing new life into the world can be one of the most fulfilling and beautiful experiences a woman can have, the unfortunate reality is pregnancy doesn’t come without its discomforts.
For some, it can be an easily tolerable experience, but for the majority of women, the discomfort crosses the line into pain.
- Sleep through the night without interruption
- Be present with your friends and family
- Retain your freedom of mobility and independence
This added strain, on top of an already stressful experience for your body, can quickly result in pain and discomfort, which can affect your ability to go about your day and move and walk comfortably.
While some women may think that this is just what pregnancy feels like, the truth is there are steps you can take to alleviate the discomfort and get back to daily activity with more ease.

Repeated Physical Stress can increase the risk of further discomfort, affect the state of your body and make the things you need to do, want to do and love to do more difficult day to day.
Repeated Mental Stress from our thoughts can lower our immune system by triggering the fight-or-flight response, making us more susceptible to germs.
Some medications taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding can cross the placenta and enter breast milk, and while most are safe, large reviews show a small number can cause side effects in infants—so it’s important to check every medicine with your midwife or GP.
As All that adds up to mothers feeling “stuck.”

Pregnancy:
As your baby grows, the spine and pelvis undergo major changes that can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. High-quality studies show that pelvic alignment issues are strongly linked with pregnancy back and pelvic pain (Morino et al., 2019; Casagrande et al., 2021), while targeted exercise and hands-on care significantly reduce discomfort and help you stay active throughout pregnancy (Davenport et al., 2019; Elden et al., 2008). Large meta-analyses also show that active mums enjoy healthier pregnancies with fewer complications and better overall wellbeing (Davenport et al., 2018).
Additionally, a misaligned pelvis might reduce the space available for your developing baby’s intrauterine constraint. This constraint can lead to several potential outcomes and conditions, such as:
- Torticollis: The neck muscles shorten on one side, causing the baby’s head to tilt to one side.
- Clubfoot: whereby intrauterine constraint can lead to the feet being twisted inward or down.
- Plagiocephaly occurs when the baby’s head shape on one side flattens, creating cranial strain due to the consistent pressure on that part of the skull during development.
- Developmental Dysplasia of the hips: the hip joint is not fully formed and can cause the hips to dislocate.
- Intrauterine growth restriction: Whereby the baby isn’t growing as expected due to restricted space.
- Breech presentation: can prevent the baby from turning its head down and so present feet or bum first, which many hospitals now as a standard practice recommend c-section when it may be avoided with earlier diagnosis and care intervention.
Delivery:
In some instances, this may hinder your ability to deliver naturally without surgical intervention, leading to a lengthier and more complex delivery.
Post-delivery:
And when not addressed properly, the changes in your body can amplify with age, and any additional pregnancies you may have could be increasingly dangerous.
We are here to support you as you regain your pre-pregnancy body and stay fit and active for many years to come, helping you care for your child long into the future.
