SPD and exercise?

Question

Anyone out there with SPD doing any exercises that can help? Everything I am trying is making it worse. My OBGYN has not given me much guidance. I am trying to work full time until delivery, but I am having my doubts. I am 31w2d....

Answer

I've been trying to find the same information!! My gyn isn't very familiar with it and doesn't seem to understand the amount of pain I'm actually in...she said its normal to feel a bit of discomfort, and I had to say NO, It actually hurts so bad it brings me to tears sometimes. The only comfort I've found is getting on my hands and knees and pulling my stomach to my spine and holding that for a few seconds at a time. Other than that, I got nothing.

Answer

Being in the water really helps me.. Either in the bath or a pool. Try those and don't spread your legs wide while doing any kind of exercise or yoga. Sleep with a pillow between your legs...

Hope that helps!

Answer

Yes very familiar with it.. 3rd pregnancy and have SPD since around 18 weeks it's is dreadful. Went to physio but that did nothing they gave me a belly belt but it hurts even more and been told to do kegels but that doesn't help either. Have just put up with it. Wish I could b more help!!
