Brief recap: I had pelvic instability (SPD) in my first pregnancy and suffered quite badly for six months after the birth and less severely between then and now (19 months later) so I am understandably scared about TTC but have to get on with it because of my age.

Anyhow, I am doing clinical pilates to try to improve my core strength BUT, this is what I'm wondering.

SPD is caused by the hormone relax loosening up the pelvis to make it easier for the baby to come out. Why aren't there any treatments out there aimed at reducing/moderating the amount of relaxin produced?

Now I'm the first to admit that I'm a medical neanderthal but how are other hormonal imbalances treated? Presumably pills? Or can acupuncture be helpful?
