Am I getting SPD?

[Urchin]

I'm starting to get pain down below whenever I'm walking.
It feels like it's the boney bit between my legs, and it kind of aches.

I've done a bit of walking today and it really hurts when I stand up

 

[DebbieM]

How does it feel when you turn over in bed?

 

[Urchin]

Just normal.

 

[DebbieM]

It might be... but then it might just be aches and pains. I know about mine more so in bed although it is bad all the time now. See how you go?

Yeah same as debbie has said, my SPD is a killer in bed. Turning over in the night is very painful.
I find that it is aggravated by walking uphill/up the stairs or long distances.
The only way i can describe the pain i feel is like someone is trying to wedge something between where my thigh bone joins my pelvis, and a constant sore feeling throughout my pelvis.
I do hope you havent got SPD mine has gotton so painful.

i didnt notice the pain wen turning in bed untill i was about 32-33 weeks and i did start with achy pain inbetween wen walking an so on so it could be the start... but i hope its not as its gets really painful when you reach aroun 34 weeks

I do not hope it is. Mine started like this but I had it from about 16 weeks

i had it for a couple of weeks round week 27-29 where my pubic bone hurt so much every step was sooo painful, and turning in bed to the left was almost impossible , i had to go the long way round..i thought it was the beginning of SPD and i was getting scared about bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy!! but then it got better over the course of a week or so and now it doesnt bother me much at all....

hopefully yours isnt here to stay either

Ive got this sort of pain....I cant close my legs ( how ladylike!! ) it just feels too painful and like something is stuck there. Turning over in bed is a killer - feels like my pelvis is being ripped out

I had this at exactly 40 weeks and lasted until 2 weeks after I gave birth. (23 days in total)

It was so painful that I couldn't walk and turning aver in bed was impossible.

I really do hope youn are not getting this. It was the worst part of my pregnancy. xxx

Where was everyone's pain ?

I have no pain at all in my hip joints, it's all around where my pubic bone is

It's not been as bad today, I think I over did it walking around the airport when I took the boys there yesterday.

I had this type of pain yesterday, it actually made me say 'ouch' out loud a few times. It hurts only when I walk today, but yesterday it hurt contantly. I just thought it was a very low down constipation pain, but I wasn't constipated!

same with me, no pain in the hips or anywhere other than pubic bone - just like Ive been kicked there

My pain is mainly in the pubic bone area. The only way i can describe it is a kind of radiating pain that spreads through the whole area. It can also feel as though i have been kicked down there, almost like bruised.
If i walk long distances (at the mo that counts to a trip round tescos ) i get the pain extending into my hip joints.

 

[GBLiz]

mine was also specific to pubic bone. It felt bruised and like it was being prised apart

someone on here said that if it had been SPD, i would have had it til the baby was born...but all the symptoms match exactly for SPD ..albeit temporarily

i stopped doing leg workouts in case the leg pressing was aggravating it , i dont know if its that that reversed it, or if i was just lucky. on a website i looked at it did say you can alleviate symptoms to an extent by adjusting your lifestyle

The worst of my pain was high up in my bum cheeks. xxx

 

[Tegala-7thMarch08]

i dont recall pain in my hips either but it starts off with ur foof feeling bruised then its constant brusedness under bump n pubic bone

 

[Urchin]

I spoke to my MW about this yesterday and she said it does sound like SPD, the pain doesn't have to stay all the time, mine only comes when I over do it.
What she described is exactly like what I have, the 2 sides of the pelvis grinding together a bit in the middle.

Some days it's fine but as soon as I walk a lot, especially pushing the pushchair, it gets worse.

 

[DebbieM]

Urchin... If you want to borrow my SPD for a few days to see how it feels at it's worst, you are more than welcome! I'm a very sharing person.

That way, you can try before you buy so to speak

This exactly what I've had for the past few weeks. Not causing me too much of a problem at the moment. Just a bit stiff getting up and turning over in bed is a nightmare. Also getting a bit of a John Wayne style walk

Is there anything you can do for it?
