Seriousness:	Quite bad
Discomfort:	I felt like I had a heaviness in the pelvic area. It seemed to worsen when I would walk.
Treatment or advice:	The doctor said the baby is sitting lower than it should be at this point and is causing alot of pressure. He said just to take it easy and avoid lifting heavy weight.

I have just been diagnosed with SPD too. It is really painful and I'm really struggling to cope with the pain I have been perscribed pain killers which don't help and given crutches. I'm only 27 weeks and I advised that it will get better after the baby is born. I'm off work too at the moment so am feeling pretty useless.

Hi I am 26 weeks and have this terrible pain when I walk in my pelvis. Sometimes it is so bad that I cannot even take a step or stand on my feet. I have been to my doctor and he has said that it is a condition common in pregnancy called symphysis pubis dysfunction. If you think you have this you should tell you doctor straight away. Here is some info on the topic and I hope this helps any woman who is suffering with the same thing. What is symphysis pubis dysfunction? Symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) is a mild to severe pelvic joint pain. As the name suggests, it affects the symphysis pubis joint, which is the joint between the 2 bones at the front of the pelvis. SPD can present during pregnancy (sometimes as early as the 12th week), during labour and childbirth or in the postnatal period. Although most pubic pain goes away in the postnatal period, it may persist and become long-term if not treated properly. What are the symptoms? Symptoms vary from woman to woman but almost always involve quite severe pubic pain. Tenderness and pain low down and in the front is common but often the pain feels as if it is inside. Some women report that they feel a ‘clicking’ in their pelvis when they walk and a lot of pressure in the pubic area. Any activity that involves lifting one leg at a time or parting the legs tends to be extremely painful. Everyday activities like putting on clothes, climbing stairs, sitting down, getting up or even just walking become difficult due to the pain. Many women complain that even turning over in the bed is especially painful. The pain of SPD may be compounded by a sciatica pain (a pain that shoots down the buttock and leg). SPD may also be associated with bladder dysfunction. What causes it? The exact cause of SPD is unknown but it is thought to be a result of the pregnancy hormones, which loosen the ligaments of the body in preparation for birth. Certain ethnic groups are more prone to the condition and risk factors include: Having large babies Pre-existing problems with the symphysis pubic joint Previous pelvic or back pain Trauma to the pelvic region Another theory is that SPD is caused by misalignment of the pelvic bones and that this puts a lot of pressure on the symphysis pubis cartilage.How is it treated? Treatment of SPD usually involves bed rest, painkillers and anti-inflammatories. Your doctor will probably refer you to a physiotherapist who may provide therapeutic ultrasound, TENS or ice to relieve local pain. If the pain is very severe and you have difficulty walking you may be given crutches. SPD may be slow to resolve. In the meantime, there are a number of ways of coping with the pubic pain: Put a pillow between your legs when sleeping Keep your knees together when turning in bed When standing, stand symmetrically, with your weight evenly balanced on both legs Sit down when getting dressed, especially when putting on underwear, tights or trousers An ice pack may ease inflammation in the pelvic area Swimming may help relieve pressure on the joint A lumbar pillow may be helpful when sitting A pelvic support belt can help relieve pain.

First noticed:	week 4
Seriousness:	Annoying
Discomfort:	I have been having some mild cramps that feel like menstrual cramps fo a few weeks now. I am 6 weeks today and I mentioned this to my Dr and he said it could be just normal due to stretching and changes in the uterus. Very wooried as I have had 2 miscarriages consecutively with similar symptoms. I also have no syptoms other than tender breasts. Not starving, Not moody ( at least I think) not sore back, nothing. Any adivce or reasurrance would be great.

My first trimester I had the same pains and my doctor told me the same thing. I'm 21 weeks now so I guess he was rite.

busymom - Thursday, Sep 13th
Carolann- This is a feeling that I remember from my first pregnancy, as well as my current pregnancy. It is just the stretching and changes happening with the uterus. I've had that feeling throughout my current pregnancy (7 weeks left!). As long as I'm not having bleeding, SEVERE pain or anything else uncomfortable then, I'm doing good.

gloria - Wednesday, Dec 13th
Hi carolann im exactly the same but have been spotting dark brown boold as well. My doctor says its because our uterus is moving and our body is changing for pregnancy. Im 5 weeks and have been bleeding for 3 weeks i could bleed up to 8 weeks says doctor. something to do with tissue in uterus falling. Go to your doctor and ask millions of questions to re assure yourself all is well. You will be fine get as much rest as you can.Im just waiting on some blood tests to see if Everything is okay with me. Maybe ask your doctor to give you blood tests acouple of days in a row and if they says your hormones are rising all is well if they are decreasing it's not a good sign. I find out in an hour. I suggest you go to see your doctor today if you can, it will make you feel better

Marie - Sunday, Jun 25th
Carolann, It's so early, the only thing you can do is wait it out. I experienced a miscarriage last September. I'm currently 29 wks along with a baby girl. My symptoms for the miscarriage were similar to the cramps I felt in early this pregnancy as my uterus began to stretch. Morning sickness doesn't typically kick in until the 6-7th week, and some women are lucky enough not to have it. If you experience severe cramps w/bleeding, then you have a problem. Until then, alles gut. If you do miscarry, have your doc run a genetic screen on the embryo and provide you a thorough physical workup. Since getting pregnant is not a problem for you, it could be something a little less obvious. I think you will be fine though. Hang in there!!

I'm 12 wks pregnant with my 1st baby. Throughout the pregnancy, so far, I've been cramping a lot..Almost feels like I'm gonna start my period n though my belly isn't showing too much, walking or sitting have now become cumbersome activities.. Got my 1st sonography in the 11th wk n there was some internal bleeding and a clot...The doc picks this reason for the pains n cramps but I'm really worried...She's asked me to take things slow and rest as much as poss..

I am 21 wks and just today started feeling tightness in my lower and upper abdomen. This is my second pregnancy and i dont remember feeling this through the first preg. I dont think i've felt the baby move yet and im worried. i have a Dr.s appt. this tuesday

Heidi - Sunday, Aug 27th
I have the same problem with the pressure real low in my abdomen.It even gets to the point where i can see a bulge down in that area.i do the same thing lay down and put my legs up it tends to relieve it.And i notice it really only does that if i'm on my back so I lay on my side as much as possible anymore.I was getting concerned to because i didn't think the baby would hang out that low until it's time to get in the head down position.But now that i read that your having the same problem i feel better that i'm not the only one.Well good luck

Michelle - Wednesday, Aug 23rd
I had the same thing when I was 21 weeks pregnant. My ob said it's nothing to worry about, it's just your baby likes to hang out down there and it might move up later. Now I'm 28 weeks, the pressure has gotten a lot better, but I can still feel it sometimes, usually worse in the morning and after a long walk.

You know i am going through the same thing and it worried me last night it got really bad, but i talked to a nurse who said that its the ligaments in your hips and lower back reactig to the hormones your body produces in order to prepare your joints for labor...with me it kinda starts at my belly button and shoots all the way down. But anyways good luck and i hope you get to feeling better.

Discomfort:	I have been having this pain on my left side of my pelvis (where I think the baby is). It's not like a cramp, but more of a pulling. Like when I get up it's uncomfortable or certain times when I am laying. It doesn't really feel the same as the growing pains I've been feeling else where, but my mom keeps telling me it's just my uterus growing. I am just confused and would love to hear if you have any insight.

Discomfort:	I get sharpish pains right in the center, just above my pubic hair-line. I feel like it is similar to round ligament pain, but I've heard that that occurs only on the sides and that you're not supposed to have centralized pain during pregnancy? It's not constant but it worries me when I have it. It seems particularly bad at night when I wake up to use the restroom.
Treatment or advice:	Talking to my OB about this next week.

Discomfort:	Symphisis Pubic Dysfunction. It feels like the bones in your pelvic floor are grinding together, especially at night. The worst is when you roll over in bed, it took me about 5 minutes each time! It also hurts when you get out of bed to use the bathroom at night or when you get up the morning. Or if you have been standing for a while during the day it hurts.
Treatment or advice:	The only thing that has helped me is putting a pillow between my legs and under my stomach at night. My doctor also said I could take tylenol before bed. I read that pelvic tilts and kegals help, but not me!

I have pain about two inches below my bellybutton or right above my pubic hair and it is also hurting in my vagina area. The dr. checked and I don't have a uti. He said that I might be pregnant. Would I hurt this early if so. I had a period on may 8th and today is may 25th

Seriousness:	Unbearable
Discomfort:	I have been having SEVERE cramps in the lower abdominal area since I was 12 weeks or so, I am now 19 weeks, and they continue to hit EVERYDAY. I've gone to the dr. and all he has to say is maybe it's gas? But for that long, and that bad? I'm a little worried because I have had 2 preterm babies (one @31 weeks and the other @34 weeks), followed by a miscarriage shortly after @16 weeks. I feel that I have run out of options.

Seriousness:	Quite bad
Discomfort:	I have been getting dull but panful ache in my lower back which seems to move to the front very low down which feels very painful and sharp, almost as if someone is `pulling` from the inside. It's not massively painful but it is painful enough to make me stop in my tracks.

Discomfort:	I get this horrible cramping. I get so weak when this happens and I have to sit down until they go away.
Treatment or advice:	I try to find a cool place to go. As bad as this sounds, the bathroom floor (if clean) is the best place to relax. The floor is always cold and you can have some privacy.
