SPD

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone else is suffering with SPD? The midwife has referred me to a physio, but does anyone have any tips for easing the pain while I'm waiting for an appointment? The consultant advised me to rest, but there's fat chance of that happening with a 16 month old and DH works away a lot!! I'm only 22 weeks so I think it has started quite early, although I didnt suffer with it with DS so I don't know much about it, except it fing hurts and is getting worse each day!

Sorry, very waffly post, but any advise is much appreciated! Thank u x

    Thank u so much fall3n-ang3l! That's a huge help. Still not heard from the physio yet and the pain is getting worse each day. Am even considering going private as getting that desperate! Thanks again x

    If you have a birthing ball, try sitting on it & rotating your hips around. It should help gently exercise the pelvis & provide some mild relief. Also heat treatment helps (much like arthritus) so a warm bath or hot water bottle on the affected area can provide relief also. Good luck with the physio.

    Thanks KazzieM. I've been using the ball, and found a bath helped until I got out! And the next day I was in agony, don't know if it was related or not. Will need to try it again tho x
