I would appreciate some advice ladies please. I don't know if i have spd/pgp, or sorry a bit of .. constipation??
I have backache (normal in pg!!) also a feeling of heaviness/pressure/tender in my pubic area/ spreading outwards and upwards around my bump, but not going higher that the bit that sticks out over your knickers iyswim?? However sorry girls but i haven't had a poo for 4/5 days so not sure if this could cause a problem?? Also i googled (I know bad !!)and they say its painful opening your legs well to be honest i find it way more comfortable sitting with them open...such a lady!! thats what got me into trouble in the first place

Sooo any ideas!!??? Any info or similar experiences would be great... although having read this back i feel i am a freak and should just sit down and be quiet !!!!

I'm now a little over 33 weeks. I've only had a few days where I experienced really bad hip/back pain. Each time, I wondered if it might be the start of spd. Each time, it ended up being either constipation or really bad trapped wind Blush.

I had SPD during my pregnancy and found that the pain radiated down my legs. It was very painful turning in bed and getting in and out of bed. I also found that I couldnt put weight on either leg, so had to sit down to get dressed. I hope that helps in some way.
