I have been googling (I know I know) because I have asked a question about an aching pain a few times on here and no one ever answers. So as I was googling I came across SPD and it seemed to explain a lot of my other symptoms such as my new found lower back ache (like something is in the wrong spot) and my early waddling (I'm only 26+4) as well as the pain in my lower abdomen between my hips that I wake up with every morning. I will obviously ask my doctor when I go see her in about 10 days but until then was hoping to hear about some of halls experiences and how you alleviate the pain.

I have spd and I know how painful it is, I went to see my midwife yesterday and really there isn't alot they can do about it but give you techniques of how to sit and lie in bed and possibly a support but they say it doesn't get any better as pregnancy goes on.  Hope you get it sorted it'll be worth it in the end x

It sounds like your body is just stretching out to make way for baby.
Try a warm shower and ask someone for a massage. Do some stretches to relieve some of the pressure (the book 'your pregnancy week by week has a new stretch every week to try, my favorite so far has been the cat stretch, go on all fours, as you breathe in curve your back up, as you breathe out curve your back in to the ground.) A heating pad is safe to use as well.

That pretty much sums up how I've been feeling. I had to go read about it haha. I had never heard of it before.

I just looked it up and it says to get a pelvic support belt and religiously do kegles and pelvic tilts to strengthen the ligaments. These legit posts get buried under a lot of other posts so I don't see them until they get bumped up

I've been dealing with lower back pain since 3 today and nothing helps! I figured if its still hurting me this bad in the morning I'll call my doctor, but no ones answering me on here either. Also, 32 weeks and waddle ALL the time
