You are pregnant not fat don't be worrying about that you are making a baby your body needs extra weight. Take it easy if you do go swimming I know walking in water is good for the spd X

@emmy_lou, I may have to take up swimming again I stopped coz I felt fat and sluggish xxx

I didn't wait for them to give me one, I went and bought one! The day my midwife was going to give me one, she couldn't find it! I was put on crutches for the last 12 weeks of my pregnancy, had to take early maternity because of it! I would also highly recommend going swimming, it takes all the weight off your back and hips and you will feel so much better @mummyraven2016 xxx

@emmy_lou, thank you I'm still waiting on physio as my midwife said they will give me one xx

I had awful SPD, and had a completely natural water birth, no pain relief at all! I found with my SPD that using a support belt helped! Lifted baby and took some of the weight off my hips and back! @mummyraven2016 xx

You're welcome xxxx

@darciepenny, I feel a bit better about it now thanks hun xxx

Nothing helped me either, just have to ride it out, you can't even feel it when you're in labour and as soon as they're out it goes straight away just let your midwife know so she can help you get in positions that won't cause damage xxx

@darciepenny, thanks hun I'm struggling to cope with it I can't move I can walk properly and paracetamol doesn't touch it xx

I had really horrendous spd, ended up having a completely natural water birth only 3 hours long! Didn't have any pain from the spd and disappeared as soon as Id had him xxx

@ljay,

I hope so I'm constantly in tears because of it and I'm still waiting on physio I am just a worrier xx

Honestly don't worry mine was terrible whilst pregnant and I had a natural birth. Youll be fine X X

@ljay, thanks hun x

It didn't affect mine . I had afterwards though, mine hasn't gone straightway but Defo got better.
