Does this sound like SPD?

I'm 27+6 and I'm so uncomfortable. Symptoms are:

Stabby pains in my vagina
Pain/Pressure down below when standing up after sitting down for a while (feels a bit like a weight dropping followed by an ache) and when walking (especially longer strides/stairs)

Baths help as does holding up my stomach with my hands- supporting the weight. I'm not overweight (5'2" and 9 stone pre-pregnancy; I've put on about 8.5lbs to date) and didn't have any pelvic pain with previous pregnancy (more than 9 years ago!)

I am seeing midwife next Tuesday but not sure whether to make an appointment to see GP earlier?

Yes that sounds like SPD - see your GP and ask for physio

Could be. You definitely need to ask her about a belt. There may be a class you can attend and you could get a Physio referral.

Doubtful you need the GP tbh.

In my area your midwife will refer you to physio at your local hospital, and yeahthat sounds like SPD I'm going through the same thing (for the second time) it's like a dull throbbing ache right in your pubic bone

It sounds like spd to me, I was diagnosed with it when I had my Dd 6 years ago, for most it will disappear once baby is born, unfortunately for mine didn't, and it's a whole lot worse this time round. I was given a tubular bandage last time to wear under my clothes like a mini skirt to keep things in place and found this helped along with a bump support. Definitely speak with your go or midwife so they can get you on the phisio waiting list x
