I've been getting some lower abdominal pains since the weekend & what I can only describe as pubic bone pains!!
Anyway I rang the midwife today who advised that these are common at this stage.. she said its the uterus expanding & getting heavier??

She suggested using a maternity belt to help relieve the discomfort...
Its getting to a stage where its difficult to walk even.. and it seems to get worse after I've been sittting down for long periods of time...

Does anyone else have this? and have u tried using the maternity belt?

I haven't tried a maternity belt. Did have a lot of stretching pains a few weeks ago, but never had any difficulties walking.

I've been reading a bit more online and now something called Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) sounds like what i might be suffering from....

I was kind of thinking that might be it as well, worth having it checked out at least I would think
