Hi all

I had SPD in my first pregnancy and although it made me ache it didnt kick in too badly until about 33 weeks last time. Im current 12+5 and my hips are already super hurting and my back seems to be jarring (painful if i move to fast or into/ out of certain positions)? Is this likely to
Be SPD so soon?

I had horrid horrid spd in 3rd pg. This time I am prepared. Have booked in to chiropractor for 13 weeks, on his advice.

I would go and see someone, and start wearing a belt asap. Good luck!

I'm the same as you, had mild SPD in first pregnancy later on, and then much more severe SPD earlier on in this pregnancy - around 16 weeks. When i phoned up for a physio referral this time the midwife I spoke to refused to believe it was SPD and said it was too early so must be unrelated.

But being a physio myself I knew she was talking crap so went to the GP who referred me straight away. Physio treatment has been helping. The obstetric physio I'm seeing said it can occur really early in some people so it sounds like yours is definitely SPD.

Try to seek help and get referred ASAP. Do your pelvic floor exercises!

Thanks glad im not going loopy! I dont get to see my MW (or infact meet her!!) until 18 weeks, so will mention it then or go to the GP if it worsens before then
