Today it has really hit me. While my spd hung around til DS was about 22 months old, it settled a fair bit by the time he was about 12 months & only hurt after I went for a walk, or did too much around the house. Then slowly got better.
So, silly me happily forgot all the things I need to remember for the rest of the pregnancy & labour that I knew before. Like keeping knee's together where possible etc.
I did see a physio when DS was 4 months old, but silly me only just remembered that she suggested pelvic floor/inner core muscle exercises to help.
I think thats why it hasn't been as bad yet TBH. It started at 15 weeks full on with DS, but its only making itself felt when I do alot so far this time around (obviously vaccuuming the whole house wasn't smart). I think its coz I did pilate's for a few months, so my inner core might have been slightly stronger than before iykwim.
I plan to get a belly belt/support of some kind as soon as I can. I'll be asking my gp about physio/chiro & asking him his thoughts at my next appointment. (I will remember next time!)
What else is there? What did you use to relieve the pain. Actually a question for right now would be... what did you use when it hurt right down there?? The bones around the vajayjay... they are aching so, so bad tonight. Makes the rest not feel so bad!
So... anything at all that you tried, or that helped you, please post it here
Thanks guys
