Absolutely desperate now, any advice?

[Bogeyface]

My SPD is so bad now, after an improvment for a few weeks. I suspect it is because she is now head down, I can feel her very low in my pelvis, I am 33 weeks.

I am in constant pain, cant walk and can only shuffle at best. My car is off the road so I am stuck in the house and cant even go for a drive out to clear my head (driving is ok, no idea why!) I cant sleep, and am on the verge of tears, or in tears, all the time. I just hurts so fucking much.

When I had my last child I was induced at 38 weeks due to the pain but my consultant then was approachable and very understanding, this one isnt, at ALL. Any advice? Can I insist on an induction? My last labour was 3 hours start to finish, which aint bad at the best of times and must be a bloody record for an induction!

If I cant be induced then I will stick to my original plan of a homebirth, which the consultant is totally against so I may be able to use that as a bargaining chip. She wants me in hospital and if they will induce me early then I will go in.

I have made an appointment with my midwife for a week on wednesday as it is the next one available but I will will ring the docs this wednesday when it is her clinic and see if she can refer me then rather than waiting another week. Have spoken to the hospital and I cant self refer, I need the MW to do it.

Thanks

Have you been given a physio referral - mine did good stuff with me when I had SPD with DS...

Also, weirdly, swimming helped - I think the bones sort of floated back where they should be rather than being a bit adrift.... Obviously not breast stroke though....[shudders]

ring the hospital and speak to the obstetric physio.......Mine told me i could get an appointment in a week if i went to the Maternity assessment unit to gte a referral. I was in agony and on full co-codamol a day and stil could hardly move. I went to maternity and was reveiwed by a consultant who referred to physio and i had an appointment within 5 days. Have now been twice and have a large back and pelvic brace and exercises.
Do you have a gym ball?
Can you buy a belt? (i couldnt buy one as am a larger lady hence the physio)
In my county the midwife and GP couldnt refer!

I am already having physio and have been prescribed pain relief, I am out of options there, sorry I should have said!

Even the physio admitted defeat and said that there was nothing more she can do.

I know how you feel with the agony as I'm 34 weeks but with twins so double the weight in my pelvis and one twin was 3/5 engaged at 29 weeks so it's only getting worse. I'm allowed a c-sec at 38 weeks but speaking to my consultant next week about possible 37 weeks as I'm struggling to look after my other kids now. Luckily she is very approachable and when I saw her with my first with even worse SPD she booked me in for a csec cos I was so bad.

You can but ask your consultant, they will either say yes or no really.

if you already having physio and pain relief its just about pain management unfortuately.
Too much is not good but also too little is just as bad. I have found i am forced to rest more in between short bursts of activity and im also in bed my 7pm as its the only place i can get comfy! I sit to do ironing and cooking in kitchen and use the car for the very short drive (walkable- i can see school from house) but it makes life easier if i can get into school gates once i park car right outside!
I have hospital tomorrow and they have already agreed CS so it will be about booking a date tomorrow and physio said she would contact consultant and stress case for sooner rather than later as its not just my pelvic muscles that have given up but also my core muscles on my left side which is now affecting my posture and will do long term :0(
