With my first I didn't experience anything but now with my second it is getting worse as the due date gets closer..

Especially in late afternoon I can barely walk without being in a lot of pain..

I can't turn in bed without pain.

I can barely carry my son (he will be 12 month middle of sept) and he can't walk on his own yet! Not even crawl, just figured out how to bum shuffle! But gets frustrated very quickly as it is not quick enough..Grin

I can barely do housework..

My husband is at work during the week but once he gets home he helps me as much as he can.. My mom lives around the corner but we have some difficulties at the moment and she works 3-4 days a week. In laws live oversea and MIL health is also not the best.
So I can't ask them for help!

I'm seeing my birth doctor (I live in Canada and when you don't have a midwife, limited here) you get a birthing doctor assigned) on sept 11. Should I ask him If I can have the baby before due date as it is getting harder and harder to walk, sit, and sleep! Also pain fuller.

Also I noticed that my knickers are always wet lately, especially worse when I was on my feet a lot that day..

Thank you in advance!!!

I would definitely ask, I suffered with really bad spd with my last pregnancy and ended up on crutches I had an almost three year old and a nine year old to look after. At 39 weeks I saw one of my consultants team who gave me a sweep I asked about an induction but she said I wouldn't need one as I was two to three centimetres and the sweep would work. Suggested I went home and if nothing happened she would see me a week later to discuss induction but she kept saying but you won't need it you will be in labour tonight.
I wasn't happy and felt like I was being fobbed off told her I wanted her to book the induction I said we could cancel it if I went into labour but I wasn't happy to leave without something being booked in. She reluctantly agreed to book me in on my due date I had to wait four days on the antenatal ward because it was so busy but I'm still glad I pushed for it as I really couldn't carry on.

Ime they are not too keen to induce because of spd so you may need to fight your case it's so unfair because it is such a painful condition if it's any consolation mine disappeared within a week of giving birth :)

Sorry forgot to say the sweep and the three I had while on the antenatal ward didn't work!
