I had SPD in my mast pregnancy as well as just at the tail end of my first. To be honest, I don't remember much of my last pregnancy. I was on co-codomol, slept most of it and felt sick when I wasn't sleeping. I was signed off work for the duration for hyper emesis, then SPD then high BP...

Right now for the past few days I have been feeling like everything is going to fall out through my vagina! TMI, sorry! Then I get a pain like someone has stuck a hook or a knife up there and trying to disembowel me. Then pains across my lower abdomen, just above my pubic bone. Spasms that shoot up through me. And when I sneeze I cramp up completely in that area!

I know some of it may just be down to my uterus growing and moving up past my pelvic bone, but not all of it? Ofcourse, I don't want to get SPD again either!

It doesn't help that I have to carry DS2 (almost 4) in and out the car, when he can't walk etc (and I can't stop doing that as he has hemiplegia, I have cut down as much as possible though).

This is just one big moany rant!

oh u poor thing

i had spd aswell with my dd2 and it horrible isnt it, thats all i seem to talk about here on BnB!

im getting those sharp stabbing pain at the bottom of my bump aswell and across the top of my bikini line.
and feel like ive been kicked between the legs by a pair of steel toe caps!

but i dont think there is anything we can do to stop it coming is there? i know you can get support belts and stuff but nothing worked when i was having dd2, but it didnt start this early with her.
oh and midwife says paracetamol!! yea like they work for anything!!!

so moan away luv! we all deserve a good old moan hehe

Aww hunnie, that does sound like it's early signs, sorry.

Paracetamol Nikki? WTF?!!!! Does your mw not understand how bloody crippling this can be???

Hope it doesn't get any worse for both of you.

I just don't want to be on co-codomol again. I was so spaced with them. I just sat and stared at stuff! Also I'm at college and having exams when I am 25/26 weeks so I need to study.

It's been getting worse as the day goes on, I feel the grinding when I walk, so have adopted the legs clamped together, small step, small of back straightened walk.

Deffinatly need to see mw, sooner the better for a referal to the physio.

Thansk for letting me know I'm not alone!

ive got SPD with this pregnancy. it has been really painful but not all the time.
i have had to stop dancing (danced all the way through my other 2 )
have been trying to turn over in bed which is very painful even more so when my hips decided to pop and grind too

Dani, I remember waking up in agony when I rolled over in my sleep last time! I sugest lots and lots of pillows. Under you back, under your knees, each side of you... so many that you can't roll in your sleep!

And getting out the bath! A bath was bliss, but I could only have one when DH was at home so he could help me out. Do not lie down.

Pretty sure it is SPD now, getting the grinding feeling and the ligament pains and what not.

i havent tried getting in or out of a bath. since my hips started hurting i have been using the walk in shower at MIL.

I've been getting really odd, REALLY painful pains right where my legs meet my body, in those creases. Everytime I move my legs, roll over in bed, stand up, sit down. I thought it was just stretching, but with DD I didn't have it...could it be SPD starting up or maybe just cause it's been so since since my last pregnancy? Carrying DD around makes it worse, heck...carrying my cat around makes it worse too!

Feel better!!!

PBM, I think it's kinda been relabeled as pelvic girdle pain, and that encompasses any pain in that region.

Last time I was otld I had SPD, for me it's a clicky feeling when walking (my hps click where your describing too) and pain when opening your legs.

My advice is to speak to your mw asap as the physio appointments can take a while.

i had spd and it was horrible wouldnt like to go through that again turning over in bed was so painfull and it got that bad at one point i tryed getting out of bed and fell on the floor due to the pain i couldnt even go to the loo i just sat there and cryed

if you have spd in one pregnancy does that mean you ve got a higher chance of getting it in your second pregnancy????????????????
