Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction?

Question

Has anyone experienced this with pregnancy? Currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd babe and I’ve having this upper thigh/pubic area pain feels like sore muscles. Mainly happens if I turn from side to side in bed. Found SPD online and wondering if that’s what I have. 
If you had it, what was your treatment?

Answer

SPD is the old name. Look up PGP (pelvic girdle pain). A support belt might help although my daughter wouldn’t let me wear it she just kicked until I took it off.

Answer

I had it during my first pregnancy. It started at 32 weeks and I could hardly walk from 38+ weeks. And I couldn't walk at all for six weeks after my baby was born. 
My doctor insisted there was nothing he could do about it while I was pregnant. After my son was born, he prescribed me pain medication for it and that was it.

Answer

I'm 39w+5d and I got told at 15 weeks I have spd. Baths help temporarily. Apparently a support band helps alot - I never got one, wish I did though.

Answer

See a chiropractor that specializes in pregnant women, makes a huge difference!  Sleep with a pillow between your knees, and when you turn over, keep your knees together.  I also love my V2 supporter (from Amazon) as I have a lot of low pressure, like baby is going to fall out, whenever I am on my feet.  Helps immensely!

Answer

I had it. It sucked. My crotch just felt so bruised (like I had been kicked hard) and it was difficult to walk some days. I saw a chiropractor for my back before that flared up and he tried to treat the SPD, but I felt like he made it worse. Physical therapy is an option and of course a pregnancy belt (which didn’t really help me).

Answer

The app Rost Moves Mamas has suggestions for ways to do things with less pain, my physio suggested it to me when i had it with my second. It was too late to make much of a difference back then but i have it again worse now with my third and i've found it pretty helpful. Keeping your knees together actually makes it worse in the long run, you want to strengthen the muscle in the back of the pelvis to help hold it more stable with SPD.
