30-4-2009 - Need Physio

My mood while writing this blog:
Sore

Hi Ladies

Hope your all feeling well.... Can you believe we're halfway there already? Feels great dont it? Anyway, the reason for the blog today is to ask you all something.. Have any of you suffered with SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction) during pevious pregnancies?I did in my last 2 pegnancies but as they were years ago i had forgotten how painful it can get. ALthough i didnt get it as bad that i needed to use crutches, i still had to wear a brace.. Anyway, I am now suffering symptoms of it again,, cant believe its come on me so fast this time.. and so painful! Was after 30 weeks pregnant last time when i got it...I've been onto my midwifes clinic this morning and they're referring me for physiotherapy, said i should hear from them by tues at the latest.... What im wondering is this - if any of you have had it, can you recommend anything in easing the pain till then? Anything one of you might have done and it helped... Im desperate for any advice now as im already so uncomfortable in bed, cant turn over without it hurting and walking is already so painful as i can feel my pubic bones rubbing off each other (tmi)....... I know its gonna all be worth it in the end - as i've said, i've already gone thru this twice and STILL got pregnant again knowing id more than likely go thru it again - but the thoughts of another 20 weeks in this pain is not nice!

So any advice would be great.. Thanks guys xxxx

When I saw your blog "need physio" I suspected you were a fellow SPD sufferer. I had it so bad with my last pregnancy I thought I would die. It's just starting now again. I feel the pain coming on, I was just telling my sister tonight on the phone as I made a long walk from my office to the car. Moving around at night is starting to hurt and I can feel the popping in my pubic bones when I get out of bed. I went for physiotherapy at the beginning of this pregnancy to try to avoid it but the exercises they gave me were very uncomfortable and my husband and I both decided I would stop going and doing the exercises and just try to take it easy instead. I wish I could offer some advice to ease the pain but all I can offer is support and definitely understanding. I am terrified to go through 20 weeks of this too. SPD is the biggest reason I decided to have a baby again so soon. I knew I wanted 1 more baby and just wanted to get through it.
