2nd pregnancy..SPD is back :( at 15weeks

[pucca]

I suffered with SPD with my 1st pregnancy (2.3 years ago) and funnily enough even went back to my GP about a year ago, as my left hip makes a funny grinding/ clicking noise with every step taken, he dismissed it and said it was nothing (do you think this should have been investigated?)

I am now 15 weeks pg with no 2, and the last couple of days (more painful at night) have noticed my SPD is back, i still have the support belt (but wasn't much help 1st time around), i am suffering mostly at night, turning over in bed is horrific...can't believe i have it so early this time around (1st preg got it at 30 weeks)

I have searched in current and archived messages, but wondered if there was any other advice to be given on this?

TIA

Have you tried turning over onto your front, then to the other side, rather than onto your back IYSWIM? I found that easier (someone on here suggested it).

Other than that, I just found taking it as easy as poss did really help, and following the usual advice about how not to move (I assume you know this if you've had it before). There was another thread recently about SPD here . I found the support belt I bought was better than the one the physio gave me BTW (for photo see the thread I linked to!).

Thanks Gingernut..It is sooo awful

Anyone else have any advice? Should i see the MW about it?

i had spd and 19 months on,im still clicking and grinding.i thought the support belts were useless.i had the wide one under my clothes and the narrow on top of my clothes.physio helped at first but as bump got bigger,it was too painful to have it done.have you tried one of them long pillows for when your in bed?

aww pucca, i feel for you i got it at 20 weeks, i was in hospital most of time, put a pillow in between your legs at knight, put a plastic bag on your seat for when getting out of car, to turn out, i would see your gp,my doc showed me lots of ways wich helped,
and i must be mad am trying for an other, but this dose worry me

forgot to say ds is 4 in june, and last year they was talking about fussing my pelvis

I AM 27 WKS AN I HAVE SPD THIS IS MY THIRD PREGNANCY. MY OTHER PREGNANCY'S WERE FINE, BUT THIS TIME AT 12WKS I STARTED FEELING PAIN WEN I WAS WALKING LONG DISTANCE OR TURNING OVER IN BED,SINCE THEN IT HAS JUST GOT WORSE.I FIND IT REALLY HARD TO MOVE ABOUT I DONT REALLY GO ANYWHERE ANYMORE AS THE PAIN IS TO BAD, IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO TALK, AS I DONT HAVE ANYONE TO TALK TO WHO KNOWS HOW I AM FEELING.
