Chances of being induced with SPD???
Im 26+3 and for the past 2/3 months have suffered from bad SPD, although it was only diagnosed around a month ago.
Im seeing physio tomorrow and have been prescribed co-codamol 8/500mg which just seem to knock me out.
I have a support band to wear (like a giant tubi grip) which does nothing and am getting fitted with a belt tomorrow.
I cant stand the thought of battling with this for 14 weeks +
Had a speculum examination last week due to unexplained bleeing and it was VERY painful - god knows what birth is gonna be like. Doctor has documented it as "chronic pelvic pain identified - difficult examination" - Gee thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Its affecting my sleep and im so tired and achy all the time.
What do you think my chances would be of being induced at 37 weeks??????
I really want to have a natural birth but am scared they'l let this go on and force me to have a c section.

However, I dont know what the chances of being induced are. I spoke to my ex midwife about it as she said I have a very big baby too and she said no way its no reason to be induced but she hates my family and I've had to leave my surgery so I can see another midwife because her care was appalling so will just have to see what the new one says.
Personally, I dont see how I'm going to cope. I have a 4 year old who finishes nursery for the summer when I'm 35 weeks and doesnt go back until the week after I'm due and just have no idea how I'm going to manage if the pains going to get worse. I dont know how I'm going to give birth though, I struggle to open my legs enough to get in and out of the car!

I took my 2 year old so they could see how much i was struggling due to the pain of SPD. you have to keep onto them to get what you want.
I said to my midwife "i cant take 16 weeks of this" when i saw her a few weeks back and her reply was "well we'l just have to see how it goes"
She offered to sign me off work and said i may need crutches towards the end but since this ive been hobbling along doped up by my painkillers.
Ive had an awful time of it lately and the thought of going past my due date and having to squeeze a 9/10lb baby out of my ladybits which already feel like theyve been hit by a bus is making me wanna cry xxx
I'm going to go on an on at my new midwife when I see her, I really dont know how I'm going to cope, I'm already shuffling around like an old lady. I need to pee so often and our only loo is upstairs, its agony! Turning over in bed or getting up for yet another wee is getting impossible.

Also no one seems to understand what it's like... my parents keep saying i should go for a walk and get some fresh air, thay dont have a bloody clue, also my oh is getting sick of going to the shops all the time, but they dont realise I'm in agony!
(sorry for the rant but i feel better now i've got that off my chest!)
