Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction ?

Question

So I just found out I have symphysis pubic dysfunction.  I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to make things a little less painful and also I was wondering what y’alls doctors did or told u to do for this. This has definitely been the most challenging pregnancy yet. Most of the time i feel like my pelvis is going to split right in half. I think the toughest part about this I can’t move around without almost being in tears. I’m currently 23 weeks exactly and wondering how I’m going to make it the next 17 weeks give or take.

Answer

I was diagnosed with SPD at 15 weeks. I knew something was “wrong” as I couldn’t move or even roll over in bed without feeling like my pelvic area was splitting. They recommended me a pregnancy support belt but that early I wasn’t even showing so it didn’t help until I was about 28 weeks . Aside from that I just refrain from heavy lifting, I keep my knees together when getting out of bed or in the car as opening your legs is a trigger, I always sit when putting on my pants, I avoid certain physical activity like stair climbing , I lay on my side, always use pillows for support, and do kegels as well as pelvic tilts. It doesn’t take away the pain but it does make it more manageable . Believe me this whole pregnancy has been full of pain and I’m only 29 weeks. But just avoid your triggers
