Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) Chatter #1

[MrsFabuloso]

I'm around too Mel. I try not to whine too much about the pain tho, it's gets me nothing but feeling sorry for myself! That's great that you have managed to be pain free for so long. Hopefully it won't get as bad as it did last time. I know you were in agony...or was that with Miss M...??

For me it's getting to the stage of tears when I stand up and that I'm leaning on the walls to walk by the end of the night. Peeing in the middle of the night is not fun! And I HAVE to go or I will not make it the next time I wake....then it's just more pain in changing clothes as well, lol!! Oh the joys of pg right...?? DH just doe not get it at all and still wants me to be doing stuff with him, like walking around down town and coping with grocery shopping. He doesn't get that after doing stuff like that I am done, that I just can't manage to do more tahn one thing that is a strain on my back. Even though he's seen me in tears after a stressful day or a day of cleaning or shopping. He must just think they're emotional pg tears... I think he's getting it a bit more now though!
I had SPD a little bit after DD was born, with the front of my pelvis actually cracking and audibly grinding when I stood from sitting, but didn't actually know what it was and just put up with it. With DS I had a terribly achey back and probably sciatica (which I have now too) but I don't think I actually had SPD. The pain was different. The worst thing is we don't have the money for me to be going to chiros or physios for treatment right now. Hopefully when bub is born I will be able to do something with myself...least of all will be losing a heap of weight!
