Thanks 2CheekyMonkeys Everytime I mention something to my OB or the physio they all say the same thing "Yes it sounds normal in pregnancy" I feel like I'm crazy sometimes. I can't lay down flat on the bed at my OB's office or get back up after scans because the pain in my pelvis is excruciating and it spasms. And the physio lady said it sounded like normal pregnancy symptoms. Once I'm sitting up I'm fine though...
By 32 weeks, I was pretty immobile. I had SPD kick in at 21 weeks and was on crutches not long after. I couldnt push a trolley or vacuum cleaner. I gave up work at 32 weeks as I was too tired and sore. We had groceries delivered or Dh bought them. I had hydrotherapy for pain relief and constant osteo, but they were only temporary.
I was working 16 hours a day up until I was 8.5 months, in a physically very demanding job, so probably not the best person to ask! LOL And I didn't have SPD.
What is your posture like? Maybe have a look at some kind of belly belt, to help. But most of all, listen to your body!!
If you are having issues, go and talk to your doctor about it and get some help and slow down where and when you can.
Sounds awful lionsandBears! I'm not sure if i have SPD though....I feel great in the mornings, just after work I am dying.
Cinder, I didn't know you had SPD, I must have missed it! Pregnancy is definitely not fun with problems. Oh now I remember I almost drove myself to the hospital last week, extremely stressed about a particular incident, massive argument with DH and driving home I was having regular BH every 5 minutes all the way home (40 minute drive) So I was freaking out.
Limeslice, you are so lucky!! lol
PZ, I think I need physio, but I can't afford private and the hospital one wasn't very helpful at all.
I think my body is telling me to slow down, but I can't stop work cos I need the money and the rest is just every day life. I lift all sorts of things all day in every day life and I walk all day at work, home, shops. It's just basic life, and I can't even do that! Just doesn't sound right to me KWIM?
