anyone experienced preeclampsia and SPD?!

Question

I had both preeclampsia and symphysis pubis dysfunction with my first child. I was told the SPD would get worse with every pregnancy I'm now on my second child and starting to feel certain starts to it like I have done previously. Has anyone else had this OR preeclampsia and it's come back with another pregnancy? Same kind of time or different stage? I really want to avoid both!!

Answer

Sorry my experience won't be soo encouraging... I suffer from SPD and this is my second pregnancy. Symptoms started around 11 weeks this time round. By 4 months I was on crutches again (last time I managed to hold out until 6 months). Am now nearly 38 weeks and honestly in a lot of pain. But still have to be out and about with my daughter... I think that is what contributes to making it a bit stronger: you can't rest as much the second time round!. I can only recommend getting a snoozle to sleep on. It is a very silky sheet that helps me to turn and move on the bed. Doesn't take the pain away but helps to move a bit more easily and quicker. I just hope it will go away as quickly as it did with my first ! All the best!
