Is SPD something you can get just during the last month of pregnancy?

I'm 36 weeks and since 32 weeks have found it very difficult to walk or stand for more than 30 minutes at a time. I find myself very uncomfortable in bed and whilst turning over - however, I didn't have trouble getting out of bed and did not feel any particualr pain in my pelvic/pubic region.

During the past week (from 35 weeks) I have felt sporadic pain in my pubic area - weird pain that did not last for long. Since then I have noticed increasing pain and discomfort in my pubic area - sort of down my bikini line and extending to my legs. I feel it after walking and after getting up from being in one position too long.

I just assumed this inability to walk was part and parcel of a second or subsequent pregnancy but now I wonder if everyone experiences this or if I have something unique going on. Being 36 weeks, do I really need to have a diagnosis or am I right in thinking this happens to lots of people at the end of a subsequent pregnancy?

i had spd third time round . very very painful. and yes, it was at the end.
you need a diagnosis so they know at the birth and immediately after.
good luck
