Okay, so I'm 26 weeks and this is my second pregnancy. last time I didn't really have any joint pain (lucky me), except during labour, which I put down to being hypermobile (which I was told I am when I was 12) and unable to move because of an epidural.
So thi time around, I've been reading the baby book (that bounty one) week by week as I go as a sort of refresher course, and to remind myself of what the baby's up to. I'd been having a lot of pain around my hips and in my groin, which is pretty unbearable when I roll over at night etc. The other day i was bored so flicked a week or two ahead, and at week 27 it mentions SPD. So I'm ticking off boxes in my head as it says to see your GP or midwife for a referral for treatment, and now I'm just worried that I've left this far too long - I've had this pain since about... I don't know, weeks and weeks now.
I know it's not too late in the sense that doing something now will still help, but have I made this worse for myself by not doing something before now?
I guess I'm also a trifle annoyed that when I mentioned I was getting some pain in my groinal muscles my midwife didn't pick up on it and mention SPD, but then I guess I did go along to the appointments saying 'nothing more than to be expected I guess', so she probably didn't realise just how agonising it was. I just wish they'd mentioned it earlier in the book...
