Kazbah - welcome to this dubious club! Sorry to hear you have to join us, but hopefully you'll find some useful information to help minimise it! My pain started Right SIJ but has moved to the left , so saying, I'm finding that I'm "managing" it far better than I was, so at present am still better than I was at my first flare-up. I have my fingers crossed that you'll be able to help yours too. Have you found a good physio/osteo/chiro? I'm in Vermont, so not far from you if you want any recommendations.

Nickel730 - i'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't find the support belt any help. You sound like you're managing so well to keep it under control . As for clunking, i never clunk at the front, but always at the back (I've got clunk in my trunk )

Fionas - I think you've hit on the dilemma at the heart of this all. For me, this was very mild last time, so I still find it hard to comprehend the thought that it might still be around post-birth. I battle with the "I should just tough it out" mentality (Codral has a LOT to answer for!!) versus the "minimise/manage/ask for all the help you can get" mentality! I'm starting to work out the sanity/immobility balance for me I think... but as always, just when you think you've got it right, it can trip you up. I had a day last week sitting at home feeling SO trapped and not coping mentally at all - compounded by a lot of trouble walking first thing and worrying if I could cope with my toddler. Then another day I "toughed it out" and went to TWO things (one was a BB catch-up lol) but paid for it later in the day... but geez I felt more sane! Sometimes I think I'd rather be sore and keep my sanity... but if it tips over into barely being able to walk then it isn't worth it!

Didi - I'm so thrilled to hear you're feeling good it gives me great hope! Enjoy your babymoon hun, you deserve it

AFM - my mum is Back again this weekend (as DH is o/s for a week) so I'm going to utilise her to the HILT as I have a heap of house/room rearrangement to get this place ready for bubba. I've also gotten DS a swing/slide set which Dad is gonna put up in the backyard so I can run DS around much more easily. That combined with a heap of playdates has definitely helped. I'm getting better at asking for help and not turning down help. It's a big learning curve this whole SPD thing, that's for sure!
