Feel like someone is kicking you in the vagina?

Question

Same. It's been a constant pain for about a month now. I'm 22 weeks. Went and saw my doctor and it's called pelvic girdle pain, due to SPD. She told me it will definitely get worse if not treated, and that I needed to correct it. It's also causing numbness in one of my thighs if I stand for too long. 
She referred me to a physical therapist who specializes in chiropractic pregnancy. I cannot wait for my appointment on Thursday. 
Things I've learned for coping.. Waddling makes it worse, thin pillows between the legs at night, and no leg crossing while sitting. 
Just wanted to post to let any other mamas know, in case your vagina also hurts. 😂😭

Answer

I had spd with my first that started two months before his due date. This time around it started at 20 weeks and is already very bad. Last time I was going to a prenatal chiropractor 2-3 times a week to be able to walk for a day or two. Physical therapy never really did anything for it nor did acupuncture but everyone is different. It’s excruciating at times, especially after sitting for a long time which is basically what I do all day long between an hour commute each way plus my desk job. I feel your pain and hope you find relief!

Answer

I'm gonna have to be the possible bearer of bad news. This is my 5th pregnancy, the 3rd in a row suffering from spd. The first time I had it, it started right around 20ish weeks. I actually ended up at the ER at one point because I couldn't walk due to the severe pain. My doctor got me a referral to physical therapy. When I started pt I was informed that mine was actually worse than spd. Instead of my pubic bone separating, one side of my pubic bone was overlapping the other, which causes severe pain. I was given stretches to do, ice and heat, and weekly pt the remainder of my pregnancy. Unfortunately, for me the issue never resolved or really saw any improvement until abt 3 weeks abt giving birth. Each subsequent pregnancy the spd has begun a week or 2 earlier than before, and the only thing I have found to bring real results is child birth. Now I also suffer from round ligament pain and sciatica pain this pregnancy too, so maybe it just seems worse this time. But we are done with babies after this little man arrives thank goodness. 
I hope you ladies are able to find some kind of relief that works for you.

Answer

Is exactly what I am feeling and my doctor didn’t think nothing of it. The pain gets worse every week I am seeing a new doctor next week.
