Finally diagnosed

in Pregnancy
So yeah went to the hospital yesterday just for a normal check up and since about 12 weeks into my pregnancy i've had a lot of problems with my hips/pelvis so much that i used to cry all the time when i had to walk/turn over in bed. My midwife at the doctors just kept saying it was normal pain and jsut kept giving me cocodamol and told me to put a hot water bottle on my hips.

Anyway after all this time (am now 36 wks) i finally saw my consultant at the hospital and she diagnosed me straight away with spd and was furious that my midwife hadn't sent me to physio.

So yeah I have 4 wks to drop and they are wanting me to go to physio which they think wont work now but they will continue it after i have the baby.


SO yeah finally i've been diagnosed with spd and now hopefully i can get the help i need. :x

    You poor thing, I hope physio has given you some great advice for labour. I still had a little but of pain a week after birth and my physio gave me acupuncture - 1 needle *right* into the joint - but it was 30 seconds of pain which gave me total relief THAT DAY! If you still hurt once your lo is born see if you can get a bit of acupuncture!!

    Am hoping that it doesn't kick start my labour, am not quite ready for my baby to come out yet. image
