Brief Summary: Pelvic Girdle Pain PGP is reported by 50 of pregnant women and up to 11 years after pregnancy 10 of women have persistent and per definition chronic PGP Central nervous system sensitization that elicits pain hypersensitivity may be one explanation

The overall aim of this study is to explore features of central sensitization in pregnant women and its predictive ability on physical activity functioning and health in women with PGP Measurements of central sensitization will be done on two study groups pregnant women with PGP and healthy controls To identify women at risk to develop chronic pain in relation to a common pain experience ie PGP in pregnancy may help us understand if central sensitization early in life explains why women develop chronic pain
Detailed Description: Pelvic Girdle Pain PGP is reported by 50 60000 of pregnant women yearly in Sweden PGP is expected to disappear after delivery However up to 11 years after pregnancy 10 of women have persistent and per definition chronic PGP with large impact on their physical activity functioningand health Central nervous system sensitization defined as an amplification of neural signaling within the central nervous system that elicits pain hypersensitivity may be one explanation why 10 of women develop postpartum chronic PGP and related physical inactivity

The overall aim of this study is to explore features of central sensitization in pregnant women and its predictive ability on physical activity functioning and health in women with PGP Two study groups pregnant women with PGP and healthy controls including non-native Swedish will be included through maternity care units and a blog Measurements of primary outcome central sensitization will be done To identify women at risk to develop chronic pain in relation to a common pain experience ie PGP in pregnancy may help us understand if central sensitization early in life explains why women develop chronic pain
