Oh gosh, just like you and Emily, I had severe spd. I've been in a wheelchair since May, now 5 wks post-birth, still effectively housebound. Don't know how you carried on! 3-5 months after birth, relaxin hormone returns to normal. I'm hoping breastfeeding won't delay my recovery….I may consider giving up if so!!

Oh darling – this is the first time I've read this (just read it on A Mother'Secrets) and I can so so empathise. Have just written a post almost exactly the same. I also suffered terribly from SPD and so remember the excutiating pain (especially the turning over in bed pain). Unbelievably though, the SPD seemed to go the moment I gave birth. (Hey at least I have something to be thankful for)!! Here's hoping your pain goes asap. Big kiss and gorgeous photo btw x

Excellent post! Thanks for sharing. It will be up on A Mother Secrets sometime today.
Hope the pain will go away soon, it must be horrendous and expecially with young children.
Take care x

Thanks for the comments

Julie – Pre-ecalmpsia isn't easy to cope with. I had susoected pre-ecpalmsia with Big E. Spent alot of time in hospital towards the end of my pregnancy. Had elevated BP this time too.

Claire – I hope you symptoms ease once baby arrives. Keep doing those kegels!

Sandy – I had the same outlook. Not ill, but pregnant. I was hard looking after Big E, but then it is for any pregnant mum with a toddler. My symptoms are usually mild now, until I over exert myself. Going to have to learn not to push too far LOL!

You poor thing. My pregnancy heartburn and gestational diabetes also pale into insignificance when compared to the agony of SPD. It's shocking that there's nothing they can do for you. Most of the time I would say 'I'm not ill, I'm pregnant', but in your case that's clearly incorrect. It must have been so hard for you looking after Big E. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now. Take it easy x

Why is it that some conditions some medical professionals treat as "just one of those things" that happen with pregnancy? Very frustrating, terribly painful and very life limiting – I hope you are as able as you can be with two little ones to take it easy after your walk. I have developed SPD at 32 weeks with my second pregnancy, but very mild in comparision to your tale, physio has been helpful, I hope I get to say goodbye to it following delivery. With very best wishes from one wobbly pelvis to another!

Just read your post on SPD…oh poor poor you, it sounds horrendous! It makes me feel lucky that all I ended up with in the pregnancy with my son was Pre-eclampsia and an emergency c-section! I don't think I could have put up with what you have.
Thanks for being one of my followers, by the way-and the compliment has been returned…I can't stop reading your blog! Best wishes, Julie.
