Is anybody having symphysis pubis dysfunction? Anything helping the pain??

Question

Feels like I’m being torn in half if I move wrong. Especially getting out of bed.

Answer

I find that a pillow between the legs is a life saver. As well, just taking your time, slowing down when walking, or keeping your knees together when getting out of bed. The little things, things that seem so insignificant are the things that will make it bearable. But like my midwife said, the only way to get rid of the pain is to have a baby 😂

Answer

Yep. Had it since week 24. Currently 38 & 3 and I’ve had this thing under control. Sleeping with a fluffy pillow between your legs really helps and I have to keep my knees together while I turn onto my back in bed then I lift myself up to get out of bed. Sometimes I get the sharp pain if I’m rushing it because I always have to pee but I’m so glad I’m almost done😩 I didn’t have this with my first pregnancy 😒

Answer

Oh I have this!! Unfortunately I’ve not found anything to help with the pain. I just keep counting down the days.

Answer

Had this with last baby... nothing works... but it gets better once baby is out!

Answer

pillow between the legs when lying down I also have a support belt helps a little but not a ton

Answer

All of this. 👇🏽 plus take shorter steps when walking, keep your legs together and move them as one when getting out of cars or bed. And if you are in pain an ice pack between the legs may help temporarily. This is not called ‘broken crotch’ for nothing!
Oh my doctor said an SI belt might help, but it was too much uncomfortable for me to wear. They’re on amazon.

Answer

I've not found anything that helps so I'm just living with it 🤷🏼‍♀️
