Pelvic Pain during pregnancy

Hello Everyone. My name is Maria and I was wondering if anyone could verify this
information for me. I found this on a website of which
I am researching due to the fact that I seem to
be having this condition. It is very painful. I am 5
months pregnant and wish to be able to heal this
condition while at the same time making sure I take
the right amount of the herbs. I would love any help
or direction anyone could give me. You could also call
me. 707-694-3527

Here is the Exceprt and posting.

I am pregnant with my first child. I originally
injured my pubic symphysis with the birth of my first
child. It felt like my bones were splitting apart and
I was sore for about 6 months afterwards. With my
second pregnancy 4 years later, I was running to catch
a bus at 34 weeks and really tore the same spot. I
could not move for two weeks at which time the pain
was manageable. I was able to give birth vaginally at
home in a birth pool. With this pregnancy I was
afraid because of my previous experiences and was
being extra careful in a precautionary sort of way.
By 18 weeks I was in terrible pain, could not walk or
stand for more than 20 minutes at a time, had awful
pain turning in bed, could not stand on one leg, had
difficulty lifting my leg to get in the shower, etc.

The great herbalist Susan Weed recommended (about 3
weeks ago) Teasel tincture, which is for "internal
tears that are hard to get at," and comfrey infusion
(the other name for Comfrey is Knit Bone). Within 3
days of taking the Teasel (15 drops 3x a day) I
started seeing improvement. Now I am 31 weeks and
feeling almost no pain at all and can move more
quickly and efficiently than I could at 18 weeks when
the baby was so much smaller. I am amazed and
thrilled that these remedies are working so incredibly
well and thought that other women should know about
them.

Wow, I wish I'd had access to this information during my pregnancies/post deliveries. During my second, my doctor informed me that I'd hurt my pubic symphysis delivering my first child, but that it was just one of those things that happens and that there is nothing to be done for it. No one who hasn't endured this can imagine the pain it causes, both during pregnancy and for weeks and even months after. I'm so glad to hear that you found something to help heal and alleviate your pain! Thank you for sharing this with us.
