Second pregnancy. Had fairly bad SPD with my last pregnancy. I'm 12 wks with DC2 and I can feel my pelvis and hips loosening already Sad

What's the best support belt I can get? Will it help? I had one from, mothescare last time and it did nothing.

Get yourself to a chiropractor asap - not cheap but if you start going now they can minimise the pain and maintain it for you

Hmmm...I wouldn't recommend a chiro to anyone. They're generally crackpot "practitioners" with false claims. Go to your GP for a hospital physio referral.

I also recommend getting to physio asap, it's your best bet.

My physio recommended me a serola belt (like this one: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0014DL038/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?qid=1435349738&sr=8-11&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=spd+support+belt). It's not specifically for pregnancy but it works.
Definitely get yourself to a physio and steer well clear of chiropractors.

I've got this again second time around too. The physio I saw last time on nhs gave me one of the belts recommended above so try and get a referral and you might not have to buy one.

A serola belt is the best.

If you can afford it an osteopath is much better than a physio. Contact the Pelvic Partnership and they might be able to recommend one who deals with PGP in your area.
