RLP and exercise

tiff012982

I am an aerobic instructor and usually I don't have much RLP, but I needed to find a spin sub last night, because it was too painful.  What do you ladies do for RLP and do you still work out?  Sometimes I feel better after working out, but spinning is just too much on those tendons.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.  I already drink a lot of water too.

I do some pilates and lots of walking and light weights. I've been on a stationary bike a few times, but it's not my fave right now. It seems like it makes my hip flexors (sp?) pretty tender and sore afterwards. I don't know how to make them better except sleeping with extra pillows at night, I'm sorry!

I teach spin class too.  With 2nd child I taught all the way up till a month before due date.  I only noticed issues with RLP when I did a lot of jumps or in and out of the saddle.  

I do notice more RLP when I run so I use the Gabriella maternity band, I don't remember using it during spin but something you could look into.

I feel like I should know this, but what is RLP?

I didn't know what it was either until I started feeling sharp side pains on the hip and below as low as the pelvic area.  There were very uncomfortable and sometimes painful so I called the doctor just to make sure.  They had me come in to make sure it wasn't a UTI (because I had some pressure too), which it wasn't and did a pelvic exam to check the cervix and diagnosed RLP.  It feels like stretching/stabbing/stinging for me.  Hope this helps
