I developed SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction) in my last pregnancy but luckily not until until quite late on so I managed without help from a physio etc. I'm now 17 weeks pregnant and have noticed sharp pain in my groin and even my bum and just put it down to growing pains. However, last night I noticed it came on after I'd sat with my legs apart, so I'm pretty sure this is the start of the dreaded spd. It's really annoying as I saw the midwife yesterday and just didn't put two and two together. I want to try and get some exercises and advice very soon so I can manage this and prevent it getting bad - has anyone got any advice about what I should right now re exercise, sleeping, things to avoid, and getting help - should I call the midwife, see the gp, have acupuncture, see an osteopath, physio, etc. Thank you! I know the pain that's ahead of me so panicking... I was about to start yoga too - and then remembered that this was the one of the things that caused it last time!!
