Home » Blog » Pelvic pain in daily life: what can you do?
You often notice pelvic pain during or after your pregnancy during everyday activities such as sitting, standing, and walking. This can feel unsettling, but it does not mean you have to stop moving. It is mainly about how you move.

Keep moving, but in your own way

It is important to stay active, but within your pain tolerance. Alternate exertion and rest and listen to your body. Worsening symptoms are often a signal that you need to make adjustments.

What can you do when sitting, standing, and walking?

For pelvic pain, it helps to distribute the load better and gradually build up movement.

  • To sit: Change your posture regularly and stand up every 20–30 minutes.
  • To stand: Distribute your weight over both legs and avoid hanging on one leg.
  • To walk: Keep a steady pace, take smaller steps, and gradually build up walking.

Small adjustments often make all the difference.
