Diagnosed with SPD!
After the nightmare of hospital yesterday when the doc said "you are not far enough into pregnancy to have SPD" I had routine appt with my midwife today. She read the notes, then had me laying in different positions and moved my legs about in different directions - ouch!
She then said - Yep, its SPD. Gave me a sheet with some exercises to do, gave me info on where to get a back support and told me to see doc to be referred to physio and to get a repeat prescription of codeine.
Now I have read the postings about SPD and am petrified as I know some of you are having a real nightmare with this so if you could possibly give me any advice I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks ladies,
Love Lee

Sorry to hear how bad you've got it - does it not go away after you've had baby?
my SPD has just been officially diagnosed this week and i'm almost 39 weeks.
I have been struggling with support belts and codiene but find them a waste of time. Hot water bottle helps while its on but soon as you take it off the pains there.
I take lotsa hot baths aswell when it gets to bad.
I'm just petrified about the birth cos i cant get into a comfy position!

I am off to the docs now to get referred for Physio so hopefully that will happen pretty soon.
Its the getting to sleep that have found to be a real problem - cannot get comfortable.
We dont have a birthing pool at our hospital unfortunatly cos i would love that. The MW Led unit does but i'm not allowed to go there as i am consultant led!
Panicking now xx
