What is SPD pains?
Click to expand...

Symphysis pubis dysfunction, or basically a pelvic misalignment that causes a lot of pain during (and for some after) pregnancy. From what I understand it's pretty painful, even more so than the "normal" pains we all get. :haha:

Happy V-day to those who hit 24 weeks! How exciting. :D You're getting so close!
 
OOOHHHH Thank you!!!! I can't wait to be at V-day!!!! I will be in two weeks!!! AHHHHH this makes me feel so much better know what V-day is!!! Congrats on your Vday tho!!! :)

karry- congratulations to you too!! So relieving to reach this point!

Amcole- V-day (Viability Day) is when you reach 24 weeks. At this point forward, doctors will intervene to save baby if something were to go wrong (earlier than 23 weeks they wont intervene; the 23rd week is a "gray area." Some would intervene, most won't). Baby's chance of survival outside of the womb is about 50%. From this point every day their odds increase a little under 2%. By 28 weeks the odds of survival is around 90% (not taking into account that there would be other health issues if born that early... but survival rate is high). The reason being that at 24 weeks major organ development has reached a point that is compatible with current technology.

It's so hard to believe we are all heading into the v-day time of this pregnancy (mine is tomorrow!) This pregnancy has flown, I wish it would slow just a little since this is my last time being pregnant. I have my 24 week check up today. My little man is finally strong enough for me to feel his movements through the anterior placenta. It's so great. He's definitely one really active little guy.
 
I have quite a while before v-day, but*so happy for all those who are there or nearly so.

Just found out a friend of mine's son was born at 23 weeks exactly, so they did resuscitate him--which they wouldn't have if it had been the day before! He has some motor issues, but intellectually he's at grade level which is why I'd never suspected. It's amazing what's possible.

But here's hoping that everyone goes to term!
 
I had mild spd with my son and it's started up again already. For me it's a really sore pubic bone and painful to walk at times. The other day I was walking on ice/snow and I walked very carefully. Then later in the evening, I was soooo sore. It seemed related to how I was walking in the snow.
 
Still 3 whole weeks til V day for me :( Can't believe we're heading to that point though! It's flying! Congrats to everyone already carrying a now viable baby :)
 
My MW gave me a giant piece of tubi-grip bandage which I am meant to wear over my pelvis to help! It's very tricky to get into and out of, not ideal when I need to pee so many times a day :haha:
My pelvic bone feels very sore and almost bruised, worse after a busy day at work-I do a lot of standing and then scrubbing large kennels/mopping floors which aggravates it. It's not that bad at the moment, I'm just very conscious that I have a long way to go yet and worry about it getting any worse.

I would love something to help with it, but my OBGYN has only suggested physical therapy and I don't feel like I need to go that far yet. I feel so bad for you dealing with SPD and a job! I'm a SAHM and I can basically avoid anything that might aggravate it and it still bothers me constantly. Last night was the worst it's ever been and I just kept thinking, I have a long way to go!
 
Congrats to everyone on reaching v day. Mines next wednesday so a week and a day left. Got my midwife appointment that same day so will hear LOs heartbeat again yay! Xx
 
You poor dears!! I don't have SPD, just regular old hip and back pain, but I find it hard to sleep sometimes. I think it's just because I'm getting old... :haha: I have found that sleeping with a pillow between my knees helps a lot. I remember the last couple of months with DS I would get up in the middle of the night and take a hot shower to ease hip and back pain. It was the only thing that worked!
 
I highly recommend giving physical therapy a try. I had something very similar in that my hip joints were misaligned, and the physical therapist basically gave me my life back for the last three weeks of pregnancy. I could barely walk up until then. Oh, how I wish I'd seen her sooner! The trick is to get someone experienced with treating pregnant women so you have to call around.

Oh my God!! I know I reached V-Day but having it put like that makes it seem even more real!! :happydance::happydance::happydance:

For those with SPD - I don't know if that's what I have or not but my doctor recommended pregnancy pilates... Might be worth a shot :shrug:
 
these headaches ugggghh......I had one so bad last night that I went to bed early and I woke up with it! AH!
 
Oh- in other news, I can feel kicks on the outside. :) DH felt her for the first time 2 days ago and I thought it was a fluke cause it was one little kick, but this morning she was going crazy and I could feel it all from the outside. If I put too much pressure on my tummy trying to feel, she stops though. So I have to just rest my hand lightly so as not to scare her away. :haha: surprising since I have an anterior placenta!
 
So glad that you can feel her bookworm! My LO gets shy really quick if you have a hand on the belly...he has finally "allowed" for me to start feeling him from the outside too..but if my husband tries he will stop kicking and patiently wait for him to remove said hand...and then immediately start up again lol

Going stir crazy...2 1/2 hours to the appointment with the specialist to see if the soft marker on the femur bone means anything or if he is fine...tick tock tick tock...
 
Yayy that is awesome news! I have a anterior placenta too and last week after I had lunch with a friend I could feel him moving! And my friend put her hand on my belly and she could feel him too! BUT it's sad because I don't feel him all the time and it worries me but they said it's hard with an anterior placenta to have "normal, routine kicks" but yayy so exciting!!!

It's my V-day! :happydance: :happydance:

I've had 4 losses, so reaching this point is always such a major relief!
 
:yipee: Congrats momofone08! I've still got a month to go... :dohh:

On the plus side, I'm finally getting a bump! I think people can finally tell it's not just left over weight from DS, lol.
