Spd

[Chellieanne]

Hello everyone

I'm 26 weeks today hurray not long left!

As this is my first pregnancy and I'm suffering badly with spd I have been given exercises and a tube grip n I have got a spd belt to, but I am finding that these are not helping and I'm struggling does anybody know anything to relief pain as I'm due to restart my final year at university at the end of the month

Thanks xxx

Oh bless u

Having to deal with SPD at a time like this has got to be horrible

But unfortunetely this is a question only your CMV or G.P can answer im afraid "sorry"

My best advise is "im guessing its an consultant or your G.P" who has giving you the exercise equipment & etc.... so contact him / her of a possible different method perhaps.

Ohhh i Feel your pain. ..I don't have it all the time but walking makes it worse I walk slowly now! and for some reason sometimes laying down on my bed and sofa... it is unpredictable but I think rest def helps. .. no lifting heavy things like hoover ..bags of shopping, have they told u to worn on ur core muscles? I've Been given exercises to do to help strengthen them it's a good one but gives me cramp in my calfs so can't do it properly I think u have to work out what makes it worse and avoid things that make it worse hope u get thru uni ok x

Yeah walking makes it worse nd driving does aswell... I find that lying down can make it work I just recently brought a bolster pillow n I sleep with an extra duvet underneath to cushion my pelvis.. Yeah I've been given a booklet with lots of excerses in but I can only do it when my pelvis isn't painful... Xxx

Hi, I had it with my last pregnancy 4 years ago, I'm 4 weeks pregnant now and pray it wont happen again this time around, however, I found this article which I think helps with a lot of information; babycentre.co.uk/a546492/pe...

There's also a dedicated professional website for it found on this link; pelvicpartnership.org.uk

Hope this helps xx

Hey, I started to get inner thigh pain around wk 32 and then started to suffer with SPD/Pelvic Girdle once the baby had dropped so a little later in the pregnancy then you. I put it down to the body starting to make way for birth. It all got so bad that I take paracetamol 4x a day (which just takes the edge off)

I am nearly 40 wks now and I am pretty much house bound, sometimes it kills just getting from sofa to bathroom. Rolling over in bed OMG you should hear the clunks n the clicks. I been using a dream genie pillow and sleep exclusively on my left.

I've had no exercises to do, it all came a bit late in the day for me do I just googled for info and spoke with friends who understood the symptoms.

I have now DAYS to go hopefully and I cannot wait to say goodbye to the pain in my leg!! xx

Hopefully it won't come back mama fingers crossed and thankfully ill def have a look on there.

Well thankfully it's towards the end and its not for long.. I'm almost at that point but hoping i can get thru the first half of my uni year.. I have found that laying on a duvet has helped it at night.. I'm just suffering with not being able to sleep a lot at the min xx
