Diastasis of the Symphysis Pubis - SPD's Nasty big brother

[Danni]

Im definitely resting as much as possible as I just can't move. The physio is the only one I can afford (free) and she said my pelvis is sitting straight and in a correct position.

But would she know if the muscle was? The pain is so excruciating.The only thing I can do without pain atm is to sit with my knees together..but I cant sit in the same spot for longer than 10 mins without my buttocks pinching.

I have one of those braces but can't wear it correctly as this baby is breech as my belly is too low

Danni, I will take a pic of how low my brace is for you if it helps. Sometimes they cant tell as much by feel when there is inflammation. When you are really sore, Ice it, and keep everything symetrical as much as possible.

i would love to see a pic! xx

mine is like Alis, but only half the thickness, length wise, sits about the same height.

OMG Ali, I knew you had pain, I didn't realise it got like this

[Danni]

Ok its definitely given me a better idea. The last physio I saw when pregnant with Mason said it needed to sit higher up, but couldnt cos of my belly shape which is low and points down.

I will try it out today when I dig it up, and let you know how I go

thanks heaps
