Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) Chatter #1

[Schmickers]

Welcome to SPD Chatter!

SPD (Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction) is a medical condition during pregnancy where elevated hormone levels cause the ligaments that hold the front of the pelvis together (the pubis) to relax. The result is a pelvis that is more mobile, and this can cause sometimes quite severe pain.

This thread is for current and past sufferers of SPD to discuss their experiences with the condition, as well as any treatments that may have helped in the past.

Feel free to join in the discussion!
