It is great to see this thread set up.

I am currently 38 weeks pregnant, and last week my pain got so bad I was just about ready to give up and book in for a C-section right then and there ( I am trying for a VBAC after previous placenta previa).

The good news is with a lot of physio (5 sessions in the last 2 weeks) and as much rest as possible with a toddler running around, I have started to see some results. The pain has lessened and I am able to walk around (with support belt). It still hurts, but compared to this time last week, when i couldn't walk from the sofa to the kitchen without crying, things are much improved.

I think the hardest thing about have SPD is being told to "stay of your feet". It's hard to explain to a 2 year old that you can't do anything with them anymore! I think i have found it worse this pregnancy as I am now living in Auckland and all my family is back in Aus. DH has been great though, and gets home from work and gets straight into playing with DS, cooking dinner, bringing me drinks and looking after me, so that definitely helps. I am also making a real effort not to let things get back to how bad they were by taking every opportunity to sit down and get off my feet.... it is really hard when there is always so much to be done, but I guess we have to look after ourselves first and the cleaning somewhere later down the list!

Good luck to everyone!
