SPD???

[claireabell]

The past few nights I've been getting really horrible pains in my hips when I'm in bed and they make the most horrendous noises, I sound like a 90 year old grannie... What is that about? Midwife said its called SPD, does anyone else suffer with these pains and does anyone know of any ways to help make it a bit more comfortable? I never had any of these pains and aches with Haylea...I can't wait for this baby to make his/her arrival..not long now though...

i don't know what can help it ive learnt to put up with it

I bought one of those cushions that looks like a slice of cheese from Mothercare, cost £10 and put it in between my legs whilst I slept. It helped a bit. As soon as I'd given birth my SPD disappeared!

 

You can get a belt (which is just a massive strip of elastic basically) from mothercare which helps to pressure your hips together and ease the pain. Thi helped me a it with Damien, but I couldn't wear it too long.

I had loads of excercises written down somewhere, I'll try to find it xx

 

I have made a sticky in the second and third trimesters at the top babe with lots of helpful excercies for you.

Here is a link to Babies 'R' Us for the support belt. Not sure what size you are though.
