Hi Scooby

I had SPD with DD2 and the physio told me that I am likely to experience it again, so I am already taking preventative measures.

My physio was wonderful. She gave me a support belt, used ultrasound before bub's head engaged, advised me to use cold packs to reduce the inflammation, and when the inflamation was down she told me to exercise as much as possible to keep the fluid moving and reduce the inflamation. She also gave me some streches to help support the area, including pelvic floor exercises, but no only them.

My MW measured how far I could spread my legs JIC I wanted an epidural and also made sure I was moving a symetrically as possible in labour.

Occasionally when I am very tired I still get symptoms, but I could hardly move when it all started. Generally when it is well managed during the pg it should resove itslef once bub is born

Sleep with a pillow between your knees, to help keep it a little bit more stable. Before you go for a walk, use an icepack, and then keep moving. Low impact exercises will be a huge help so swimming is definitely fine. HTH
