ladies with spd

[niknaks]

Just a quick question for those with spd. If you have sij belts or tubi grips like they've given me do you wear it to sleep? I don't wear mine but in absolute agony in bed but scared It's gonna roll up and squash my bump when i go to sleep xxx

 

[lewisca]

I didn't wear mine was told not to . Just had lots of pillows under and between everything !! Xxx

 

[nikki8092]

i sleep with a pillow between my legs, seems to help xx

 

[benjis mum]

me too, I don't wear the belt at night but pillows help, although rolling over is painful but I was told not to wear it in bed

 

[niknaks]

I've tried loads of pillows and the best thing for me is sleeping sitting up so i stuff an extra duvet behind me to prop me up but always end up really stiff in the mornings. Leg thing does work a bit but It's when i turn over its agony

Lewisca did your spd go once you had the baby? Xxx

 

[lewisca]

Yer it did took couple of weeks to go properly. And every now and then get a bit of a twinge but nothing like it was !! Xxx

 

[niknaks]

I can't wait. Really hope that happens to me. So glad I'm getting induced next Monday. Don't know how much more of this I can take xxx

 

[Lilelephant]

Yeah I was told not wear the belt to bed and it's agony

 

[lewisca]

I was the same!! had it in all 3 of my pregnancies and was induced at 38 weeks this time cos of it . But the end is in sight and once u have lo in your arms it will all b worth it !! Xxx

 

[niknaks]

It's horrible. Everyone keeps saying get all the sleep you can now but i can't get to sleep till about 3am. Dreading when babys here I don't want to.be a ratty mum. I'm getting induced because he has too much water around him. Really wish it was because of the spd though. Wish I had a smooth pregnancy. Can't wait till he's here and i can be normal again xxx

 

[lewisca]

Oh bless ya Hun !! I have slept better since I had Rhea !! Although she is a good sleeper ! Not much longer to go Hun xxx

 

[niknaks]

Can't wait for that. I know 8 days and counting hehe xxx

 

[Dollie]

As the others have said, was told not to wear either in bed. Awful isnt?! i cant lay on either side very long as my hip starts to hurt but changing sides is horrendous!! At least the end is in sight for you. The only tip i find that sometimes it helps not to lay totally on your side, ie use pillows to prop you up so you are leaning slightly forward or backward xx

 

[niknaks]

I've tried that but always have to get it at the right angle. Just the slightest movement is agony. I cant wait for it all to be over now xxx

 

[Dollie]

Aaaww, i know, ive ended up in tears numerous times from it! Just 8 days to get through though xx i have 8 weeks left

 

[niknaks]

I was like that too but it does go fast. Do you take anything for it? x

 

[Dollie]

I tried paracetamol but it doesnt work so dont take anything. im signed off work so i just rest a lot, avoid driving and wear my belt when out and about x

 

[niknaks]

See i avoid paracetomol cos im scared it might affect the baby. Yeah ive been trying to rest but they gave me a tubi grip and need oh to help me put it on. Its amazing what we go through during pregnancy i nevr would have thought of pelvis problems x x x
