Just a question about birth for people who've been there before... Ive got an appointment with my MW tomorrow and I just wanted to have a chat with her about this, but I don't know the first thing,

My doc told me last week I have SPD and I am in absolute agony. I really don't know how Im going to last another 8 (10 weeks max!) like this.

Do you think if I asked my midwife they would talk about inducing me a bit earlier than my due date because of this? Or would it not be safe? Has this happened to anyone before?

Also, I read somewhere that SPD can increase the risk of c section, but elsewhere Ive read that that isn't true. Can anyone clear that up?

Thank you

sorry hun but whats SBD???

Synphisis Pubis Disfunction.. Or something along those lines.

I think most people with SPD elect for a c-sec because of the pain..

ouch sounds painful xxx

Yeah its what Toria said. I tried reading up about it but theres so much stuff that conflicts with each other and I don't really understand myself.

Id rather not have a c section, but if its going to happen anyway will they give me it a bit earlier do you think?

If you elect for a c-sec I think you can book it for 38 weeks

*bump*

Sorry, Im going for my appointment in 15 mins... does anyone think it's worth asking her about being induced early or not? I dont want her to think Im stupid lol.

Best just to ask because you're curious. I'm sure the doctor won't think the question is stupid. Maybe you can have a chat with her to see if there are ways to soothe SPD during labour or specific positions that work out better. Good luck!

def worth asking, also ask what the pros and cons are
