    I thought everyone got spd during pregnancy? From the relaxins making the muscles and tendons in the area go all floppy?
    I have it. Right now I'm curled up on the lounge with a pillow between my legs because I tried flipping a trolley up a curb while shopping today and hurt it quite bad

    Most people get a bit sore, but not everyone gets SPD which is much worse.

    Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) is most commonly associated with pregnancy and childbirth. It is a condition that causes excessive movement of the pubic symphysis, either anterior or lateral, as well as associated pain, possibly because of a misalignment of the pelvis. SPD is a dysfunction that is associated with pelvic girdle pain and the names are often used interchangeably. It is thought to affect up to one in four pregnant women to varying degrees, with 7% of sufferers continuing to experience serious symptoms postpartum
