everyone, haven't been in here before. Apparently I have SPD Was sore when pregnant but not too bad if I was careful so I didn't think it was bad enough to be SPD from what I've heard from others and how bad it can get. I was going to the chiro too which I found helped me.
But after the birth, OUCH! It is much worse now. After a very active 10hr labour I didn't expect I'd then have to get a wheelchair to get to the maternity ward. I could hardly walk my pubic bone was just so so sore. The physio came and did her routine check the next day and told me I have SPD and also muscle separation in my stomach (6cms) which is not helping the situation either. It's not as bad as just after the birth but still pretty sore all the time. Sore just to touch and sore to walk at the front and also my tailbone too.
Just wondering when I can expect it to get better?? I didn't expect this after I'd had her! Hoping it doesn't take too long to get better.
I first got SPD after the birth of my first child, and it came back during subsequent pregnancies. The post birth pain after my first lasted around 5 or 6 weeks, getting better little by little. I couldn't stand for any length of time for the first month. I wish I had gone to see a chiro for some proper support as I was healing though as I suspect my 3rd and 4th pregnancies would have been much easier if I had. Hope you feel lots better soon xx
It's been a lot better the last week and went back to the physio who said I don't need to go back so hopefully it just keeps getting better and quickly!
