Did any of you ladies experience symphysis pubis dysfunction (spd) and did your doctor listen to you or just dismiss it as normal aches and pains?
Aches and pains are normal this intense pain however is NOT ugh. I know they can't really do much for it but maybe not dismissing it would be a huge help. @deeds22
I have it! Bad! I literally cry just doing simple things like rolling over in bed, getting dressed, getting out of bed. It's so painful I can't handle it, and I have a high pain tolerance. Now it's even getting to the point were walking hurts too. All my OB says is "it's normal, you'll have to just tough it out till birth" like ok that doesn't help. It's so annoying I HATE it
😡 I hear ya. That's ridiculous to pay, I haven't gone to them myself because I'll just end up having to go back in a few days and that's too much money. Here's hoping we find some way to cope with it! Hopefully like @t1mom says it'll go away after birth
After extensive googling I definitely self diagnosed because it seems doctors don't take it seriously. It feels like ...idk, glass shards down there. I read going to a chiropractor could help for a bit.. @starrbaby
Yesss agreed. It seems both resting and continuing activity makes it worse. @cecey0912
I have it and it's big Pain😩 And you ladies are right about those movements..My doctor said to rest and lay down don't do much but I feel that it's the same thing cux yes I'm not moving so it doesn't hurt but then when I try getting up the pain comes all over again and stronger since it was resting at no movement at all.
Oh that's a huge relief to know. I was a little worried it would be messed up forever
I always had to put on undies like an old lady! Unfortunately all I can say is go slow and take it easy. Once you give birth though it goes right away!
Turning over in bed and trying to put pants on is the literal worst. I read up on it and they say sometimes you hear a click and I didn't for the longest but I definitely hear it now when my legs are too far apart
No no no. You're not! That shit hurts so bad. I'd literally get up to go to the bathroom and fall into other furniture almost in tears!
@t1mom, aw that sucks, same here :( she dismisses it so much for me that I'm starting to think maybe I'm just a big wimp
She makes me feel like I'm over reacting about it. Like you said the aches and pains are normal but this isn't, and I know it. She's just awful 🙄 @heykira
