Sounds like SPD to me! Get thee to a physio (you don't need a doctor's referral). I have been seeing a physio from about 18 weeks and I think it's made a huge difference, not only in that you feel better when they've worked on you , but they also tell you what to avoid to stop aggravating it, and teach you some stretches and exercises to strengthen and help. They can also give you a support belt thingy which helps.
Get onto it now because you don't want to end up on crutches before you have your baby!
Hey Amanda-Jane,
It does sound like what the other ladies are describing. AT my early pre-natal classes we had a physio that showed us a pelvis (bone cast) and showed the three sections that make it up. This is why some women get back pain also where the pubic bone joins the spine. She mentioned pelvic tilts that you can do to strengthen the muscles holding it all together. The bones and ligaments relax during pregnancy, which is why they ache. Definitely see a physio or your OB for some gentle exercises you can do. If you are in so much pain that you are crying, it sounds like you deserve some relief,
Can i have an update on your condition?
As know i'm preggers with baby number 3 as well, is this something that i need to worry about?
I mean is it a case of the more babes you have the more trouble you have or is it a risk in all pregnancies?
