Why does it hurt so much to walk

[Mumcab]

You would think I was new to this, but my first too were uneventful compared to this. I am 27 weeks and have never felt so uncomfortable walking, sitting down, getting in and out of the car and jelly bean is a she and thinks my insides are the local ball park area. Is anyone else expewriencing this. ...and she is in transverse lie...just hope she decides to turn. I have always delivered naturally scred witless at the thought of a c-s.

could you have spd?

It could possibly be Symphis Pubis Disfunction (SPD) that may not be spelt right.

I had it for most of my pg, turning over in bed was aginy and practically impossible without dh helping.

sounds like you have spd. I have had it and it was probably at it's worse at around 27 to 30 weeks.

the SPD has settled down now ALOT, I am 36 weeks now and this little one also treats my onsodes like a punchbag.

I've just come back from the doctor and he thought i had a urine infection but it isn't because it doesn't only hurt when I go tot he loo, it hurts all the time. I read up about the SPD and yes it does seem too match. Not much of a deal though, it will just go when jellybean arives.

Thing with spd is to not aggrevate it by doing things that make it hurt - believe me if you get it bad it's awful.

and mine has settled quite alot so there is hope, dd2(20 months) had to learn not to be carried so much, I think that helped.

dh also taught her to come down the stairs safely (on her front backwards) so I no longer had to carry her up and down the stairs.

It does sound a lot like SPD. I should know - I'm currently 36weeks and 5 days and am completely immobilised by it and taking morphine and pethidine for the pain.

From my experience with SPD, I would seriously advise you to do the following:

1. Keep your thighs/knees together as much as possible when moving - I know this is difficult!
2. Put a bin liner or carrier bag on your car seat so that it's easier to slide in and out.
3. Ask your midwife whether it would be possible to have a support belt - not so much use later on in pregnancy as bump is too bid, but it did halp in the earlier stages.
4. I was advised to use ice packs on the painful area rather than any heat type treatments.
5. The key is to avoid doing too much and listen to your body. Pushing yourself too hard will only aggravate the pain.
6. There are certain birthing positions which can worsen the pain post delivery so discuss your options with your midwife.

I can't wait to get this baby out now. I know that the pain won' be gone completely, but the reduced pressure will be a huge relief! Hope everything goes ok for you. Let me know if you want to know anything else.
