Firstly, thankyou so much to everyone who replied... It's so nice to actually KNOW I'm not alone going through THIS much pain, everyone just says "some pain is normal" but when I tell them how bad mine is, they just go "Oh...." and it makes me feel like there's something wrong with me..

Bear with me while I try to multi-quote on my phone :insert red face here:


You will need a LOT of support. If your DP doesn't, get him to read the SPD thread. Google pelvic instability. You will need his unconditional support whilst you deal with it (just like you will once bub arrives).
DH is trying to support me, the poor thing, but he, just is just as clueless as I am as to what to do to help! And although he KNOWS I'm in pain, i don't think he quite understands how much and how exactly it affects me.. But he is trying, so that's something, right?

btw - you can have a homebirth with SPD, you just need to use certain positions to reduce further damage.
Yeah I thought homebirth was ok with SPD, I was more referring to my state of mind, that if I went into hospital now, I won't want to leave til she's out...

the pain in ur hips is sooo common that even though u want some sort of sympathy the gp's hear it so often they just brush it off now so they make u feel even worse..
Yep! Basically my GP told me to suck it up, as it'll only get worse and showed no sympathy and didnt offer any solutions or ways to get relief despite my asking! that just made me feel terrible and that maybe I'm just weak


Your body has been taken over and turned into an incubator for a baby who's job it is to get as big as possible and take up as much of your body as possible, nerves and blood vessels just get in the way!
Lol! That explains my purple feet and legs then!
