spd
hi to all mums and mums 2 be. i just wanted to know from any of you who have suffered or are suffering with spd what exactly you told your midwife or doctor to get diagnosed with it? i had my 2nd little boy 27th aug last year and one moring (half way through my pregnancy ) i got out of bed and all my pelvic area was clicking and grinding and eventually got very painful, i had this for about 2 weeks and then it went away. 8 weeks before i was due it returned but it was horrendously worse, i wouldve stayed in bed if i couldve but already having a little boy that wasnt an option. i cried my way out of bed everymornin and to walk around and walk upstairs was nearly impossible i even fell quite a few times due to a shooting pain all of a sudden catching me out.every week i was telling my midwife all these different things and she kept telling me that it was just to do with my muscles and that was it. giving labour was quick and fine but 2 weeks after i still had it then it went away. can any of you tell me if this couldve been spd? i want more children but im worried if i have it again i'll suffer really bad again and no1 will listen.
thanks

I have been told not to try again for another baby as SPD is caused my hormones and once you have had it once you will 99% sure get it again, even your monthly periods may bring on the pain caused by hormone changes. Its not easy being a woman is it!!?!! Try a cold compress on the area and sleepi ng with a pillow between your thighs, but ask to be referred to a physio as soon as possible and don't be fobbed off unless you've had it people don't realise how painful it is - I mean morphine is not a drug to be taken lightly!!!
thanyou
