SPD
morning ladies hope u r all well today
I went to see my midwife yesterday as i am constantly having pains in and around my pelvis. i first noticed it wen i was waking up every night in pain wen i was turning over now it hurts pretty much all the time even just walkin and wen i got out of the bath yesterday i was in so much pain i shouted and OH had to help me get my other leg out!!
my midwife thinks its symphsis pubic disfunction but i dont know anything about it as i dont know anyone whose ever had it. shes refered me to a physio and said i might have to wear some sort of support band and that its probably gonna get worse as baby gets heavier.
i dont know how im gonna cope running the house and looking after a 1 and 2 yr old and am really worried labour is gonna be more painful.
sorry for a miserable start to the morning ladies but i dont have anyone else to talk to.

I will bump up a post by Jemaxox that gives loads of details and tips from ladies who have suffered too. There are a lot of tips that I found extremely useful but for nighttime - if you can I highly suggest getting some of the silky/satiny type pyjamas. Wearing them makes it much easier to move in bed - if I dont wear them I end up waking in pain more often! The double duvet underneath is also a HUGE help!
I hope it helps!
Take care, Love Lee

I had my little girl in October and suffered with Sciatica from 3 mnths then SPD and I can sympathise because its agony. I had back problems anyway from riding but this was terrible. Like you mornings were horrendous and just the thought of getting out of bed made me want to cry. Also having to pee more during the night was awful, and I looked like an old crone trying to get to the loo!!!
I say my osteopath, a physio and was referred to a gynae physio. That helped and she gave me a HUGE piece of tubi grip that I had to wear all the time, from just under my bra over bump and down past hips - very attractive. If I was walking I had to wear a support brace. She also recommended no lifting, no hoovering, no shopping trolley. So I used Tesco online, but still did too much as we have a farm and are in the middle of a huge building development!! Really ladies I would say try to rest because I was only a step away from being on crutches, but luckily baby came 12 days early and thankfully all the SPD pain stopped the minute I had her.
Good luck to u all.

Somedays I would not be able to move at all if it wasnt for them! Sorry to hear your OH doesnt understand how painful it is but maybe if you show him how badly some women on here have suffered it will sink in!
Also - make sure it is in your notes!!! They have to be extra vigilant with your birth and not open your legs too wide - if they did it could (not saying it will) end up dragging on for months after lo arrives!!!
Take care
