Ummm. GOOD is hard to think of.

On the positive side of spd, i learnt to slow down and take things easier. I learnt to nurture myself and not expect to be perfect. I learnt to accept if spd was part of making a healthy baby, to let go of needing to control and plan.

I bought things online, including groceries and learnt to accept help from strangers, like having them carry things inside for me.

Spd helped me be more organised and improved my ADD. Instead of moving from one task/ room to another, i learnt to finish tasks in on room before doing something else. This conserved energy, reduced pain and probably saved time.

I learnt my job was to grow a healthy baby and everything else, including my ego, took second place to that.

I also got a disabled parking sticker, which i actually needed.

The physical pain was real and i have left over spd at 16 wks pp but it is improving. There's loads of things you can do to manage the pain. I hope it doesn't get any worse for you. The number 1 thing is DONT push through it. If it hurts, stop! The emotional angst is also very real, but if you accept spd as part of your new normal, knowing that it will eventually pass, that can ease the frustration.
