hi - this may come across as a "poor me" whinge, but I was hoping to chat to other women who are or have dealt with SPD or other pelvic instability during pregnancy.

I guess today is a bad day both physically and psychologically and i don't feel I'm coping at all. tomorrow might be better. I just feel isolated and humiliated everytime I go out in public and I'm shuffling along like 100 year old. I've even been out once with a 87 year old, who was looking after me - was very sweet but it's just not right, it should be the other way around. There's so many things I want to do, but I have to plan the day so I can only walk so far. It's affecting my work and every other part of my life.

All social activities now have to be planned so I don't have to walk up/down stairs or walk very far from the car. How are other people dealing with this without going crazy?

I guess I'm also overtired from being up 5-6 times overnight and trying to deal with the pain.
