AB  - PURPOSE: The scope of this study is women's descriptions of symptoms experienced 
      through persistent pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain (PPLP) as well as their 
      strategies to cope with the condition. METHODS: This is a mixed-method study 
      based on questionnaire responses and inductive interviews with 12 Swedish women 
      with self-reported PLP during pregnancy 2002 partaking in a 12-year postpartum 
      follow-up questionnaire cohort. Test of statistical differences between the 
      interview cohort and the total cohort was performed and the interviews were 
      analysed through inductive qualitative content analysis. RESULTS: The 
      questionnaire data showed that the interview sample reported significantly more 
      pain than the questionnaire respondents but resembled the questionnaire 
      respondents on most other characteristics. The theme "Balancing avoidance and 
      activity" and its sub-themes illustrate the strategies the participants used to 
      manage their situation on a daily basis. The pain was a constant reminder that 
      led to evaluation of pros and cons for physical, social, and mental activities as 
      well as the search for therapies and treatments. CONCLUSIONS: For the women who 
      participated in the interviews, living with persistent pregnancy-related 
      lumbopelvic pain caused limitations and negatively affected various and major 
      parts of life to a far greater extent than previously known.Implications for 
      rehabilitationPersisting pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain affects various and 
      major parts of life, including working, physical and social activities, and 
      psychological well-being.Rehabilitation should focus on individualized physical 
      activities and effective coping strategies.Effort should be put into helping the 
      patient find fulfilling explanatory reasons for the persisting pregnancy-related 
      lumbopelvic pain.
