So I am in my 22 week and already my PGP/SPD is flaring up. I have a hard time sitting or standing for long periods of time. If I ever lean on something, like on one foot, I find myself stuck without being able to move without excruciating pain. Sleeping is a problem anyways for me in pregnancy but now if I wake up to use the bathroom, walking to the toilet is extremely difficult after being asleep for a while. For some reason if I can just make it to the toilet, sitting there for a few minutes almost realigns my hips and the walk back to bed is not nearly as painful. I go in to see my midwife tomorrow and she has suggested that when the pain becomes too bad I should see a physical therapist as to not have a repeat disc rupture like my last pregnancy. The constant pain is still bearable but I need to find out the proper way to sleep so that I don't injure myself further. There is another weird symptom of SPD/PGP that no one talks about and it is this painful feeling that my rectum is falling out. Like my lady parts are turning inside out both my vagina and my anus. It's very painful. Last time I ended up with the H word it was so bad. Anyways, this post was random and very personal. Lol oh well, that's late night insomnia for ya. ;)
