Can someone help with some advice
I have just joined this site and am so hapy to see so many of you also suffer from SPD (don't mean that like i sounds!!) I am 30 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and didn't suffer with SPD with my son so I didn't know what was wrong with me, nearly 2 months ago I was isssued with a tubi grip and crutches and am doing pelvic floor excercies, but my god it is so painful, do any of you know if I could opt for a c section rather than a natural birth, and does anyone else have to use a wheelchair as this is what they are threatening me with.:\?

I don't have SPD myself, but there are quite a few people on here who do. One of the ladies I talk to quite a lot has been suffering quite badly and she has crutches and a support belt, and I think she has been recommended by her doctor or midwife for a c-section as her knees can't be spread more than 23cm apart or something. I would advise talking to your midwife or doctor to see what they recommend. Good luck x x x
Mine started with aching in my lower regions, and only in the evening. It got to the stage that I spoke to my midwife even though I thought it was the way the baby was laying, she sent me straight to physio and a consultant who all agreed I had this SPD, never even heard of it before then. Let me know what happens with you, got loads of advice now!!!
Just remember is you have SPD its worth finding out about disability living allowance and disabled parking!!!
