I had SPD in my last pregnancy, which mainly affected weight-bearing from 18 weeks until about 7 months, when I found it painful to lie down as well.
This time I am more or less painfree during the day (so far), but I can no longer sleep lying down (I am 20 weeks, pain came on v suddenly about 3 wks ago), as my pelvis seems to click out of joint and it is agonising and downright difficult to get out of bed. This happens even taking the normal precautions: sleeping on my side, with cushion between knees, padding underneath, hot water bottle, the works. Have also been seeing an osteopath from 12 weeks.
Has anyone else experienced same? I have 4.5 months to get through, and don't see how I can sleep sitting up for all that time. Sleeping semi-reclined sort of works, but is giving me back pain.
Help!
