Back and pelvis issues

I had SPD from 8 weeks and sciatica on top of that in my 3rd trimester - for the last 6 weeks or so I was on crutches, and with an active preschooler already it made life pretty challenging. That said, I found a combination of things helpful in managing it - family / friends for support, regular physio, swimming when I could, and occasional acupuncture and osteopathy as well.

Yes it went away after baby was born, although not straight away - maybe a good 4 months before things started to feel more "normal".

It didn't affect my labour or birth at all as I was focused on managing through my contractions etc, and DD2 was in too much of a hurry anyway (labour was less than 2hrs).

I 've had SPD and sciatic nerve trouble since 12 weeks this time.I went to an osteo for quite a while which helped,but then it got worse.
My midwife referred me to the hospital pyshio who gave me a tubi grip support and crutches.
Was also referred to the pain management team at the hospital who have given me pain relief which at least helps me sleep of a night.

Have a talk to your midwife and see what she recommends.

I did have the same problem with #1 but not as bad.It didnt affect the labour and the pain went away pretty much as soon as I had bubs.
