Feel like iv been smacked between the legs with a spade!!

[bathbabe]

Im 24+1. And as the title says.. OUCH!! I remember feeling like this with my son when he had engaged at 25weeks! It hurts to walk, sit, move. Iv noticed baby has moved and is now either head up or bum up rather than led across the way but could this be SPD instead? Or do I have another early engager! Im working for another 9weeks, im not sure im gunna cope

What does SPD feel like?? X

Yes Spd for me is as you describe, not constant pain but any sudden movement can be very painful! I find things like turning in bed and walking up stairs the worst. It also feels like a pressure between your legs. Not nice at all

Ouch! Have you tried some yoga? There are some moves that can help with spd if that's what it is. Hopefully it goes away soon.

For me, SPD is a burning, vertical pain about 1-2 inches long right on the front of my pubic joint. In this pregnancy, I've also experienced tailbone pain with it.

I highly recommend you see a physical therapist if you suspect SPD. I didn't with my first and suffered. This time, I've seen a PT, and the exercises she gave me (plus the stability shoes she recommended) have really helped to alleviate the pain.
