Symphysis Pubis Distasis (SPD)

Kayla • Rainbow due July 2020. After 2+ years TTC. “And sometimes against all odds, miracles do happen.”

Hi ladies! I was diagnosed with symphysis pubis diastasis (SPD) in the beginning of my pregnancy. The pin got much better throughout the 2nd trimester but the pin has come back with full force 😩

The pain is pretty severe, it just hurts doing anything or moving any part of the lower half of my body.

My doctor gave me a pamphlet of stretches I can do (which I have been doing since I’ve been diagnosed) to strengthen my pelvic floor. He said that if it gets worse I can go to physical therapy but I’m really trying to stay away from having to do that.

My question is, does anyone have experience with this?

Will this pain effect anything with labor and delivery?

I’m currently 30 weeks!

Thanks ladies!
