Helped a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007736 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 08:50:09 +0000 lizzywiz 1007736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I had hip pain on one side almost from the start (hormone induced relation of the ligaments). Got diagnosed with SPD, saw a chiropractor for the entirety of the pregnancy. And the pain (and heart burn and rib pain and, etc) were ALL gone by the day after birth. Oh, it was heaven! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007647 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 07:15:59 +0000 emg86 1007647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I think it started around 20 weeks. Some days picking up my legs to put on my jeans would make me cry from the pain. I saw my chiropractor regularly and did stretches that my doula suggested and it helped tremendously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007636 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 07:04:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1007636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: this is one of the things I'm dreading with my current pregnancy. I really hope it doesn't happen again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007629 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 06:57:23 +0000 Pepper 1007629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: "like someone had kicked me in the crotch" -- exactly! Ugh. I don't miss that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007620 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 06:51:54 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1007620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB suspected I had this. I didn't have a clicking but I was in so much pain (like someone had kicked me in the crotch) anytime I would move from sitting to standing, stand for 10+ min or try to walk my normal, fast pace. I wore a support belt, and it helped relieve a lot of the pain, but it stayed until she was born. But, the pain went away almost immediately after birth.</p> <p>ETA: I didn't realize they hat PT for this! I would have tried to get it. I was able to run through most of my pregnancy, but the pain from this made me stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007612 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 06:44:50 +0000 Pepper 1007612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB was pretty sure I had this. I had a lot of pain when sitting up from laying down, when changing positions suddenly in bed, and when spreading my legs too far. He recommended I wear a support belt, but I never did. After I delivered it totally went away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007608 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 06:40:26 +0000 Boheme 1007608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and you asked about symptoms. I had a hip click that was extremely painful. Anything that involved moving my legs apart caused me pain. I couldn't step over anything without shooting pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007365 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 21:56:33 +0000 anbanan15 1007365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I'm glad it went away for you before you delivered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007342 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 21:46:55 +0000 Boheme 1007342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I got it at around 24 or 26 weeks? I went to physical therapy for 10 weeks and my PT was a godsend. I was pain free by 32 weeks, and that continued til I delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-diagnosed-with-symphysis-pubis-dysfunction-spd#post-1007331 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 21:43:20 +0000 anbanan15 1007331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What were your symptoms? When did it start? What did you do for it? Did your pain go away after delivery or did you continue to have complications? </p>
