'The sofa is my base in daily life': The experience of long-term, pelvic girdle pain after giving birth.

In this study, we investigated how women struggling with long-term pelvic girdle pain after giving birth experienced and coped in their daily life. We conducted individual interviews with 9 women with pain between 3 and 26years after giving birth. We found that pelvic girdle pain results in significant challenges, influencing women's relationships with their children, partners and wider network.
