I had an extremely long pushing stage with DS (over seven hours by official count).
Several reasons: DS hadn't fully rotated, I'd started pushing before I was fully dilated and so had a swollen cervix, DS had a very large head and was born with his hand resting on his face, which increased the circumference further.
I'm now 15 weeks with #2 and over the past week have been suffering increasing pain in my pelvis - mostly in the SI joint, which is interesting as I did have pain in this joint following DS' birth for a while, but also round the front. Today has been really painful, noticeably worse after sitting.
Just wondering if anyone has suffered from SPD/PGP after a difficult previous delivery?
