Anyone else have SPD?

Question

This is my third pregnancy, and until recently was my best pregnancy by far. I started having pelvic pain about a month ago, but if I rested it went away. The last couple of weeks it has been debilitating 24/7 and my midwife said I definitely have SPD but she didn’t suggest an ultrasound or anything to see how bad it is or to determine whether or not it’s fully separated. Does anyone else have SPD? Did they do anything for you??

Answer

What do you mean an ultrasound to determine how bad it is? They just refer you to physiotherapy here so give you exercises to do to strengthen the pelvic muscles etc. I've never heard of having an ultrasound for it? Honestly it's the worst pain ever.. I'm struggling to walk

Answer

I’ve had bad spd since 16 wks this time, 20wks last time. No treatment from OB or hospital. Seeing physiotherapist has helped and avoiding anything that triggers it badly. I’m 36 weeks and counting down.

Answer

I have had PGP in both my pregnancies now. 
Regular physio helps. As does pilates and a pelvic belt. The one I use is called the serola belt. It’s different than the usual bump support belts that you see in that it fits around the hips and helps pull the pelvis together therefore releasing the strain on the pubic symphysis if this is where the majority of your pain is.

Answer

There's not much to do unfortunately. I had it with both my boys, they sat verrryy low . Couldn't walk towards the end. With this pregnancy I'm having a girl and she is sitting higher up, no spd!

Answer

I have it. My dr did nothing. 😭 had it since 24 weeks. I’m 37 weeks now. It got better for 3 weeks but now right back to where it was. Very painful😭
