Has anyone else experinced having spd? I was told i have this because of the pain i have in my pubic bone. It started pretty early so i went to a physical therapist a couple of time and learned some exercises to do (which i do everyday), but havent been back for a while now becasue my insurance dont cover any of it. I am now 30 weeks pregnant with my second and its getting worse. I knew it would but it now seems to be more in my tailbone area as well. I guess im just wondering if anyone else has experience this and if you found anything that helped? Did it go away right away after birth and could this lead to early labor? Any advice would be great. I really dont want to end up on bed rest because we could never afford that and i have a very active 2 year old and my husband works 2nd shift so bed rest would not be good. I will be talking to my dr more about it at my appt on wed but thought id see what other moms stories are to. Thanks!

What can I do next?

I had sciatica as well as pubic bone pain. For me it went away seemingly right after giving birth but my memory is a little fuzzy now [I swear I still have "mommy brain" even two years later!].
You shouldn't have to go on bed rest, even though you might wish you could! I remember having a terrible time walking, lifting up my legs, getting out of the car and rolling over in bed- I can't say anything really helped me besides using 6 or 7 pillows to get comfortable in bed and trying not to move. I think I took Tylenol on a couple of occasions but that doesn't do much either. Just remember, it sucks for now, but it will almost surely go away... if not right after labor, then at least when your hormones get back to normal.

I had this with second and third pregnancies and it was awful, had to quit work at 34 weeks with 3rd preg. It started up again with the fourth pregnancy and I finally took advice to go to a chiropractor. Huge difference!! It made a huge difference and I was able to keep working till 38.5 weeks. Go to a chiro who specializes in pregnancy. And no, it doesn't cause you to deliver early (though you will wish it will) and I had easy vaginal deliveries for all my kids. In fact I wondered if having my ligaments in pelvis so loose is what made my deliveries so quick and easy.

I have had that with all my babies. It is awful and painful, but normal. It went away pretty soon after birth. There's a lot of weight that rests there, and the bones can move and spread. Once the pressure is off, everything gets better.

Chiropractor, if you want relief from the pain go see a good chiropractor, Diversified treatment is my preferred style but everyone is different.
