SPD symptoms???
Hi Ladies, im hoping to get some info if poss from anyone who has experinced this as i think i may be getting it
the past few weeks on and off I have had pain in pubic bone and bum bones tmi (dont know if the the right names lol)and today especially this afternoon i have been in alot of discomfort, standing still is agony and seems slightly less painfull when sat down does this sound familiar????
Dont have midwife til thursday so wll ask then too, but thought women who have been/ going through it might be able to advise/ help

It started with pain in my hip joint but it felt to me like a specific point in my back and down my leg so I just thought it was a bit of nerve pain I was so wrong. I had a full time office job so did find sitting was a lot easier but I don't actually think being in any position, sitting or standing, for a length of time did any good at all.
While you wait for your appt, I would suggest trying not to arch your back, try and make sure you stand bearing weight equally on both feet, try and keep your pelvis tilted up slightly when standing or moving around, this takes a lot of pressure off your back. Try not to turn over in bed with your legs apart (satin pj's are great to help slide your bottom rather than lifting) and take paracetamol when you need to it will help.
Hope it isn't SPD but just make sure you let your MW know if it does become very painful, we all get twinges but if it gets worse I would stress this as it can be really painful.
Im now 17 weeks preg again and am already getting niggles if I do alot of standing or walking buying a pelvic support is ment to help alot
thanks again
