any spd/Pgp suffers on this group?

Question

I'm currently 36 weeks with my second boy with both I have had spd/pgp with this pregnancy it's been particularly bad they've been asking me to go on crutches but its hard to do that when I have a 2 year old and his father who's still my partner is working away has anyone been offered to be induced due to spd? Or offered an early sweep?

Answer

I had pretty bad SPD in my second pregnancy and it was pretty bad. I could barely walk, just in my own house from the bed to the bathroom.. I felt like my pelvis was being split apart! Excruciating. So I had a physical therapist friend assess me. He suggested I get an SI (sacroiliac) belt..it goes around your hips and not around your belly. It stabilizes your pelvis. It helped tremendously. I was able to walk without wanting to die. This is my third pregnancy now and i started wearing the SI belt early on. It's helped a lot and I haven't felt that horrible pain although I still do have some pain. I'm able to function and work still. My doctor never mentioned inducing because of SPD though. It's painful. But doesn't mean it requires induction.

Answer

I have pgp, had it with my now 2yo. It's so bad I sometimes need help getting out of bed...I could cry. On top of that I'm hypermobile so all my joints were already loose to begin with...and I possibly have fibromyalgia (waiting on diagnosis). Won't get induced (I don't want to anyway but it's not something we get offered here for plain old pgp).

Answer

My doctor won't diagnose me with it but I know it's what I have. I cry every time I roll over in bed at night. Also when I make those dreadful pee breaks at night ( I try only making one all night because it's so excruciating) I actually have to pop my pelvic area back into place because it has relaxed that much to where it pops out of place anytime I sit or lay down. If I don't pop it back into place I literally can't even roll out of bed without screaming and I for sure can't walk.

Answer

Wow... you and I are exactly alike it seems.. this is my second boy and my first is two as well!! I have been suffering from both for about two months now.. the pain so bad I have been out of work for a month. I am 35 weeks and my dr has not mentioned any induction methods!
