A bit of a heartfelt post for anyone with SPD or other horrid pregnancy symptom

[Tootsmaloy]

A bit of a heartfelt one for anyone who has suffered SPD/pelvic girdle pain/any other debilitating thing during pregnancy. I want to say that I support you, to anyone suffering with a toddler, I applaud you.

This has been the hardest 4 months of my life. My daughter has seen me cry, has cried as I have cried and has wiped away my tears. She has mimicked me when I could no longer put weight on my left leg, she has understood that mummy was in pain and tried to stroke it better. She has wondered why mummy couldn't take her to the playground, and accepted it, she has wondered why mummy couldn't pick her up, and accepted it, she has brought me my shoes and my hat in the hope that I could come out with her and daddy, and has accepted that I couldn't.

Now I am getting better and I am feeling stronger. Soon I will be able to go out, I will be able to chase her, I will be able to spin her about. I have a second beautiful daughter to show for all my pain and I am grateful for that.

My daughter will not remember any of this and for that I am thankful.

Tri hopping!!

I had PGP in my 1st pregnancy and they was horrible! Physio helped to an extent, but the further along i got the worse it became.

Praying I dont get it again! Spesh now as i have a 2yr old to dhase after.

Did u have it in ur 1st pregnancy? If u didnt, i just wanant to reassure u that almost as soon as u give birth it goes!
I had a bit of sciatia afterwards but that only lasted a few days. Wasnt half as bad as the PGP i had from 20wks!


Wishing u the best in the remainer of ur pregnancy hun. Not long now xx

Aww thank you my dear! Haven't turned the ticker off yet! I was induced because of SPD at 38 weeks. I'm on the mend now, still have aches and can't walk that far but I'm getting there

Im not sure if i may have this i have thought on occasions that my right leg is going to give way wen i turn in bed it is so painful an sometimes its so sore im nearly crying ..if i sit too long at work too an get up im stiff an it feels like sciatica goin down my leg an butt do u think this sounds like i have spd?xx

 

[Tootsmaloy]

Yes, sounds like it to me kaz. There are milder and more extreme forms of it but not being able to roll over in bed and the sciatica are definitely part of it in my book. See if you can get some physio and I hope it doesn't get too bad for you bun xx
