I find having a nice relaxing bath helps a bit

You poor thing - That sounds really painful.. I get bad pain when I bend down for any period of time or crouch to pick something up or do something. Not looking forward to what your experiencing.. I hope you're feeling a bit better since this morning hun! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm getting a real bad pain in the middle of my pelvis. Only hurts when I walk or move. I suspect it's a knee though.

No worries :) It is diff something to tell the m/w, she can refer you to a physio, who in my opinion cant do much lol as they say you need to actually stabilise your pelvis not mobilise it, so that cuts out alot. And they will fit you with a belly belt, this gives me some relief if im going to walk to playcentre or stand for a while. The physio will talk you through how to get in the car, in and out of bed, rolling etc. and give you some very light simple stretching moves that help sometimes. ------------- Kayla Rose is now 4!

PS, a good way to see if you have it in the front joint is to lay flat and with a flat hand apply presure to the front of your pelvis, if this sends you through the roof you diff have SPD in your front joint. ------------- Kayla Rose is now 4! James Sydney is nearly 2! |

I had a belly belt with Haleigh from the physio from about 30wks but wasn't for anything like this my back-up just gave me one because of fluid retention and it really helped, was great in labour to, and excellant for walking and after the birth, I loved my belly belt.
I will call Jenny this morning (at a bit more of a respectable time hehe) and get it sorted, sucky thing is I dont drive and ahve to walk everywhere and playcentres 30min walk away with coming home up a hill . ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I told my MW about this last time and she wasnt concerned about it - she said that its normal and is most likely just the baby pushing down on top of ligaments stretching |

I had this with the latest baby....it got so bad that I ended up sleeping in a reclining chair for months. It was okay when I kept moving around, but you can't really do that and sleep at the same time. Stairs became impossible. Getting in and out of the car nasty. There wasn't anything that could be done for mine, but a friend that had the same thing said that her osteopath made a HUGE difference. The good news...mine went away within days of giving birth...so at least it was temporary  ------------- |

I'm working on an article on SPD for OHbaby! atm, my poor boss has it bad
I had it so bad with Maya that I ended up on crutches. Didn't get it anywhere near as bad with the gremlins which surprised me given I was much bigger. Things that help: lying on your side with a pillow between your knees, warm baths, support belts or tubigrips from the physio, and a plastic bag on the seat of the car to enable you to slide in and out more easily. Things that don't help: Sitting for long periods of time, sitting with your legs apart, squatting, any position which opens up your pelvic joint. It is really important to talk to your midwife about it because if you have it, it can affect the way you birth. I wasn't allowed to squat to deliver Maya because of the risk of permanent damage to the joints. Like Maree said, the pain usually subsides post birth, altho I had a few issues with my lower back that were indirectly related to the SPD when Maya was 15 mths. It's good to talk to a physio postnatally too to make sure everything is settling down properly. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
