SPD during pregnancy?

Question

Anyone else who used to workout 5-6 days a week now find it impossible to workout during pregnancy due to symphysis pubis dysfunction? I literally can’t walk without excruciating pain after working out and it’s really taking a toll on my mental state after being so active before pregnancy.

Answer

As soon as I found out about my second pregnancy I started to adjust my diet and made myself an activity plan which I thought will work all the way until delivery. My plan consisted of 2 daily walks (10k steps total), Pilates exercises and some weight lifting and a daily session of gentle yoga stretches and relaxation techniques. I planned to this most days at home. 
I am glad now that I didn’t joined a payed club as I realized at about 10 to 12 weeks that I can’t even dress myself without excruciating pain. I couldn’t do most of the exercises I planned to do and couldn’t complete any prenatal workouts from YouTube. I managed to walk a lot, but had pain and in my last trimester I didn’t managed to walk more than 20 minutes without breaks. 
SPD pain was worse during my first and last trimester but I had it at all times and it seriously limited my range of motion and the workouts I could choose from. 
The good news is that it totally went away after baby was born. The bad news is that I still work on my groin, back and butt muscles because of such a long break in keeping them fit.

Answer

Yes it was horrible! I totally quit working out. I stretch, look up sciatica stretches. See a chiropractor, use a heating pad and Tylenol. You can do some yoga but be careful and stop when you have pain. My SPD never went away until I fully quit working at 36 weeks. I also quit cooking and everything. My husband does it all. I still don’t walk a lot and if I exert myself too much, the pain comes back. Can’t wait to exercise again after baby. Any day now!

Answer

I switched to an all upper body routine. it wasn't idea because I lost a lot of time in my legs but at leastcit was something.
