SPD Support Thread

[tweetyfoo]

Finally got a physio appointment =) Thursday morning x

 

[1stBump12]

Good luck Mrs Bump and yay busymummy - hope it helps x

 

[leesey]

There is hope for us yet ladies!!

These last few days I've been able to walk

I've been for 2 long walks without my crutches, and although it was tiring, there was no agony, there was no crying and best of all I think it's helping me towards labour

I've heard before that in the days before you give birth, you get a sudden burst of energy, and I'm presuming that this is it! I'm guessing natural endorphines or adrenalin or something means that although my SPD won't be gone, I just can't feel the effects of it. Hope it lasts right up til I give birth cos I was so worried about being in too much pain to deliver.

So ladies, you may get relief eventually xxx

Sorry you're feeling rubbish AR, transverse does seem to weigh down more on the hips, but when mine turned from transverse to breech, all it did was change the position of the pain to my pubic bone. Not fun. Hopefully you will feel a bit better once LO turns xx

 

[Amyrose]

She better turn the little fatty lol
I have 4 flights of stairs in my house I'm thinking of just moving to my
Living room altogether as the stairs kills me. Baby has been like this for weeks now and having GD and her being big not helping I swear I can feel her grow by the second. I have trapped nerves over my bum and pins and needles in my fingers I'm presuming it's all baby related x

 

[leesey]

Pins and needles in your fingers might be poor circulation, I had that for a few weeks but it disappeared a couple of weeks ago. Just do finger stretching exercises (although not in public like me, I realised it looked like I was playing with invisible boobies - cue red face!) as often as you can.

The stairs are the worst thing aren't they? I find going down ok but going up I have to take them one by one, making sure I have both feet on the ground before I put any weight down. As in, don't go 'right foot first step, left foot second step', go 'right foot first step, left foot first step, right foot second step, left foot second step'. Takes forever but helps reduce the pain xx

 

[Amyrose]

Hahaha that made me giggle!
I take forever on the stairs i so want a chairoplane to get me up and down lol

 

[Hope81]

Having problems the last days with the stairs last night my hips were so sore that I asked my oh to push me up the stairs lol...
Maybe I just move in the living room me thinks
I am not sure it's spd but please someone to tell me that ones the little chunk is out I will be able to move and breath again?????

 

[tweetyfoo]

Stairs are my nemesis! I can't do them
Without crutches I fold like a paper bag!

Today all my pain is in my pubic bone... Feels like I'm
Splitting in two ...

Nothing like meeting up with a friend from work who you haven't seen in ages ... When your hubby has to wheel you in a chair to meet her ... Humiliated much!?


Please excuse any typos from my fat fingers!

Out of interest, I'm measuring quite big on the fundal height measurement, are any other SPD suffers on the big side? It might just be because I'm petite, but I'm curious after the revelation about the links to IBS/digestive disorders.

 

[Amyrose]

I'm measuring big I have gestational diabetes x

 

[tweetyfoo]

I have no idea how I'm measuring but I'm expecting a big baby as I'm
5'7 and hubster is 6'3

I was initially measuring big, but fundal height is usually just bang on now. Bubs has a big head though if that counts? Above 90th centile apparently xx

 

[busymummy]

Had my physio appointment today. The doctor who referred me was meant to refer me as priority but I was referred as routine, which is my I waited so damn long for an appointment. I would have been seen within a few days if I'd been referred as priority and they would have been able to do alot more in terms of preventing it getting any wose, but as I'm much furtheron all they could do was give me crutches. At least the crutches are helping, its just a little frustrating knowing getting this bad could have been prevented if the doctor hadn't done the referral qrong.... X

 

[tweetyfoo]

Thats rubbish chick, However, I'm interested to know how it can be prevented from getting worse? Nothing like that was ever mentioned to me, and I was pretty much told what will be will be

 

[busymummy]

I have no idea they she never said what they would have done, suppose there wouldn't have been much point x

 

[leesey]

Yeah I had pretty much the same rubbish prognosis, nothing much they can do either way. I wouldn't dwell on it, at least you got seen eventually and try to get through the rest of your pregnancy. Just remember to look after yourself and don't overdo it xx

 

[tweetyfoo]

Oh god I'm in so much pain I can't sleep

There i no comfortable position ... it hurts so bad I moved and it literally took my breath away ,... I bloody winded myself and ended up choking!

Who thought up this SPD nonsense anyway ... put them in the stocks!
