Hi I posted a couple of days ago and thanks to everyone who replied. I have been to the consultant today and told that my swimming pains were caused by round ligament pains and should hopefully go but the lower punching pain in my pubic bone is SPD and quite severe. I have been given a tuba grip to wear and she has actually signed me off work for 2 weeks. She has said to rest for the first week and then gentle exercises the second week. She said the rest may help the pain as its currently agony to walk.
To those who have experienced this - did you find anything helped the pain? I am only 23 weeks, did you find it got worse as time went on? I am really scared that from now things are going to get much worse but I know that I need to think more positively. Thanks again.
Yep! Hurts a lot! Lucky you got signed off work! I was given exercises and a lot of pain killers. I had to stand a lot at work too! I hurt from about 20 weeks onward. The pain changes a bit toward the end and I did have some random good weeks. So if you get one, take advantage! I had to change the way I slept as well and that helped. I wore a pregnancy support belt/ brace. It was expensive, but helped make the pain manageable. Yay for hitting 23 weeks!
