I absolutely did this & it helped 100%!! But my symptoms are still there after birth. I feel my pelvic weak and opening my right leg doesn't open so much.
Strategy #1 helps me roll over without pain
Everyone keeps saying this is v common. In my entire life I didn't come across a single woman who hav had this except myself. The pain is so excruciating.
There's a chance some of the women you know just never talked about it.
Different topic, but when my husband and I had fertility challenges, and years later, dealt with a miscarriage, it wasn't until confiding in close friends that we learned how many of them experienced the same thing. Both my mother and my mother-in-law had miscarriage and neither of us ever knew.
And in some cases, I don't think they're intentionally not talking about it, rather, it just doesn't come up in conversation. At least, that's what I noticed is the case for me.
Same, everyone acted like I was exaggerating my pain

Re rolling over in bed, I use my upper body to push myself to a sitting position, then turn both knees over together while supporting myself up with palms against bed. It helps take pressure off the abdomen and lower back.
I’ve had SPD with both of my pregnancies and started these exercises early on in the hope of mitigating pain down the road but of course I wasn’t nearly consistent enough, and it doesn’t help having a 2 year old to chase after and pick up. The exercises that still help the most are cat to camel, and gently squeezing something pliable between the knees.
My OB recommended using KT tape (look up videos on how to tape for pregnancy). It worked pretty well throughout the 2nd trimester and beginning of 3rd, but in month 8 my belly has been growing so much and so fast that the adhesive became unbearably itchy. You can also try a belly band.
Deep breaths ladies, and remember we are unbelievably strong and made to endure, to rise against, and to support each other.
Thank you so much for sharing all this valuable info Andrea! So many women are struggling from such severe pain from this. I love all your suggestions and experience 💕🙏
Thank you for your channel!
Did yours go away after birth? 🙏
I struggle so much with this pain. Causing lack of sleep aa always trying roll over yet so painfull. Even during day uncomfortable when sitting. Please help
My level of pain went up to 8 since 20 weeks of pregnancy (I'm 32 now) I really hope the exercise will help 🙏
Two weeks later: it really did help !! A lot ! And the donkey kicks are my go to immediate relief. Thanks y🙏
Thank You Veronika Pop, where do I find the donkey kicks..??
My level of pain is only 3, but since I know how bad it gets for some poor women, I decided to start doing your exercises daily and it has helped a lot. Thank you for your videos.
26 weeks recently started the help! Have not seen my doctor about it but the pain 6-8 when walking scared to walk but after this exercises I started pain went away. Helpful tips first time mom here
After a week of increasing pain I finally figured out that I likely have this condition with my pregnancy! I’ve taken the last few days to stop doing any kind of movement that triggers the pain, and knowing to keep my legs and knees together when moving and taking smaller steps when walking has helped tremendously! Now that those muscles aren’t as irritated as they were, I can do the exercises so much easier. Looking forward to more progress! Thank you SO much for these tips. My spirits already feel so much better not being in so much pain all the time!
Hi dr. .urs cured ?
29weeks, level 5 when walking. I was afraid that my baby was coming early! Thank you Jessica for the video and tips!!
I’m at maybe a pain level 2 but it only appears in certain positions like rolling over or if I separate my legs too much. Definitely going to do these exercises twice daily and ice to prevent it from getting any worse! Thank you!!
I’ve had PSD since week 17 (now 37 weeks). I believe mine started as an injury (happened in one event) after a strong adduction movement.
My pain is around 4-5, and it’s worse after a long day - like my joint is tired and unstable.
I’ve adopted the first suggestion you made for rolling over in bed. Keeping Knees together. Anything with my legs apart is really painful.
My goal has been to only do movements that are pain free. If there’s, pain, I try a different way or slow movements way down.
Glad I found your video! Thanks!
I’m 59 and have this problem. It hurts really bad I feel sorry for any lady who is pregnant and has this pain. I couldn’t imagine the extra belly weight and pain! God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
After I gave birth, the pain in my groin went away until I started doing strenuous workouts regularly (about 6 mo postpartum). After starting to workout, my pain has reached about a 5. It’s continuing to increase, and I really want to heal my pelvis! Thanks for this video!
So happy i found this video and was happy to read some of the comments..I have suffered with this pain during pregnancy and now 16 months after giving birth I still have this horrible pain...on a scale of 8 to 10 when I do alot at home ..... I at times forget about my condition until I release I can hardly walk and the pain is a 10.
So glad I found these videos! Just did my first workout and hopeful it will be helpful! Anything to help will be so appreciated. I’d say mine is a 7-8 at night but 5-7 during the day. Thank you for taking the time to educate and help. Shared to my FB for other mommas I know with similar pain!
Hi Sara, I'm so sorry you are in so much pain :( I really hope it helps you! Did you see this video also th-cam.com/video/lNdwrrTviVU/w-d-xo.html Thanks so much for your support! I really appreciate it.
I'd rate my pain a 5-6 on a regular day and 7 after I run/walk. These workouts have helped me so much! I've been doing your pubic symphysis workouts for 2 weeks (twice daily) and already feel a difference. Thank you!
Hi Jenna! Eek..that’s a lot of ongoing pain 😢 So happy it’s starting to help :) Great job on doing it twice a day 🙌
Ooo love these strategies and love those roll-overs! Awesome video, as always, Jessica!
Balanced to the Core Thank you, Gretchen!
I saw on another video that you should keep your knees and feet together like a mermaid to avoid stress on the joint and so it heals. This has helped me.
My physio also recommended the pillow between the legs when sleeping and it made such a huge difference!
Thanks for just began experiencing this yesterday and was wondering. I hope it going to help me out. Thanks
I’m so glad you posted this video! Yesterday my doctor helped me figure out that pubic symphysis is likely what is causing me such pain. But she basically didn’t have any ideas to help. She also didn’t realize a pelvic floor physiotherapist could be helpful during pregnancy, but you shared about it, that’s how I knew to ask. So now I have an appointment next week, and the exercises you’ve shared in this video will give me something to work on til then. Thanks so much Jessica!
Calcium supplements... exercises 3 times a day, a lot of water intake, ergonomic care (like pillow btw legs )stress free environment postpartum.......
Very helpful
I got relieved by all these.....and I want everyone to heal faster....coz it was very irritating and frustrating pain during my postpartum journey...it took me 3 month to completely get rid of this pain...
I’m annoyed 14 no post partum and I’m just learning about this I wish I knew about this during my pregnancy. I try chiro but I’m frustrated because no one around me understands my pain thanks for this video best I’ve seen I will definitely start these exercises.
Love your videos! So helpful! I'm dealing with this issue now, probably at a 4 or 5 as far as pain goes. Mostly it bothers me at night when I'm trying to roll over. And I can't really go for long walks anymore or it just causes me more pain. I will try your tips!
Crystal Gibson eek... hope you get some relief. Another mom said sleeping in an arm chair was helpful for at night. Are you pregnant or did you have your baby already?
Just started your videos today. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and regularly at a 2, it goes up to an 8, depending on movements. I hope this will help!
4 strategies which help a lot of women. Thanks Jessica.
I hope so!
You're so helpful. I'm in alot of pain! Its friday and I'm avoiding going to the Drs because of this corona virus. Thank you for your video, I bet its helping many expecting mothers. I'm so happy to have found you. I will be binge watching your videos!
Helen Chavez Hi Helen! I’m so sorry you are in pain. It’s so terrible especially when you can’t get your doctor/ physio/chiropractor appt etc 😭 So happy you are finding it helpful :) Are you pregnant now or did you already have your baby?
Same here! I called my OB and basically was told to wear a belly band, take tylenol and suffer until labor. 😭
Great video. Thanks!!
My pain is a 9 right now! 21 weeks pregnant with my third baby. I haven’t been able to walk without assistance the past three days. Just found this video and hoping the exercises and advice helps! I have a 3 and 2 year old to take care of daily. It’s been debilitating!
Reading this made me not feel so alone ❤️ I’m 23 weeks with my 2nd and same! So debilitating!! I have a 3 year old.
I'm glad to finally find some helpful info though as I been really scared of it getting worse like it has past few weeks. I've noticed it is way worse at night. I also did a lil more research and found alot of what I do could be making it worse (mostly how I sit which is legs crossed, or on the couch I sit kinda tilted)
Super happy you have a video for this. Suffering the pain now at 31 wks. :( laying down in bed, rolling and getting up is the hardest for me. 😭
So sorry you are in so much pain :( I hope you get relief. Sending a big virtual hug
@@PregnancyandPostpartumTV Thank youuu I hope so too! Started trying these yesterday.
I really got a lot out of your Video thank you.
level of pain: 0. I just watched this video to learn about it. I'm 31 weeks pregnant and really appreciate all you offer on TH-cam, Jessica!
I would say my pain is at about a 7 during and after working all day (im an esthetician /lash stylist so i sit all day). So far a saddle stool has helped some. Very excited to add the exercises and see if that helps 😫 The pain is nearly crippling and my midwife basically blew me off and said if i had SPD, I'd be in a walker. My pain started around 13 weeks and im 20 weeks now.
Level 8. The last roll over through clamshell position helped!
My pelvic symphysis opened to 4.6cm during delivery of my son due to the position I was in during pushing him out. I was in the hospital for 5 days and they sent me home with a walker. Thank you for these exercises!! I’m doing physical therapy as well but I’m trying to rehabilitate ASAP so these ideas are also helpful!
How are u doing now? I'm at the hospital now because of it. It's so painful and frustrating
@@mareezy so in my case, my progress (closing my separation from 4.6 to 3.4cm with physical therapy) plateaued and I ended up needing surgery. I now have a metal plate and screws holding my pubic symphysis closed and 3 large screws in my back left SI joint because that was the more injured side. I should be fully healed and back to “normal” in February if I let my body heal how it’s supposed to and not walk on it too much
@@ccmthorpe o no, I'm so sorry to hear that!!! Man, it's so hard being a woman. Are you pain free at least?
@@mareezy I’m currently coming off of these pain meds and the pain really sucks but I’d rather deal with it than keep taking opiates
@@ccmthorpe this is going to sound crazy but when they gave me percocet in the hospital, I still had throbbing. It wasn't as good as tylenol with aleve. I was doing 2 caps of 500mg tylenol for a total of 1000mg tylenol every 6 hrs plus the 12 hr aleve. It would stop the throbbing
Jessica, thanks so much for your videos. It would be 4-6 for me but there was one day I got a strong 8-9, as I wasn't able to stand up and walk properly. It was the day I found your other video for the exercises. They are a life saver now.
Now it's only hard for me to get up in the morning and it hurts when I try to stand up from sitting position. I don't feel much pain when I just walk
Jemma Karapetyan Hi Jemma 👋 eek.. 4-6 is still quite a lot of pain, but I’m glad you aren’t getting the 8-9 again. Glad the exercises are helping:) Hope you are staying healthy and safe now as well
Im a level 10 and 2 weeks postpartum. Unable to get out of bed and walk . Glad i found this video,about to do these exercises. We can do this mamas.
I've been rolling over by straightening my legs, keeping them together, then rolling. It hurts too much to keep my knees bent and causes the joint to pop if I do it that way. With my 1st the pain didn't start til 3rd trimester and got up to a 9-10 the closer I got to delivery. I'm pregnant with my 2nd and started feeling pain at beginning of 2nd trimester, possibly because of using one of my adductors too hard and straining it. I'm 20 weeks now and already up to a 7 when moving around. I see a Physical Therapist and Chiropractor at my work (luckily work at a Chiropractic office) who regularly check my pelvic alignment and that helps. But they don't specialize in pregnancy or pelvic floor so I'm hoping your exercises will do the trick! 🤞🤞
4-6 I have a high pain tolerance but I sit at a desk all day and getting up from sitting down for awhile or getting up from sitting period really hurts. Today I tried ice for the first tine and it’s been a life changer. Wish I could ice myself all day!
Mine started before my first prenatal visit at or around week 7-8. First started in my right hip then moved bilaterally. At around week 10 I started noticing the pubic symphysis pain. The pain majority of the time 4-5/10. When I’m on my feet for long and at night then it goes up to 7/10. I have noticed improvement with light exercise, and finding ways to take a break during a long work day.
My pain fluctuates between 4 and 7. It started around 20 weeks, I'm in week 34 now and it's getting worse and worse since the baby is getting heavier. I'll try all these strategies. Some comments had me worried it won't go away as soon as the baby is born, which I thought would happen. Another strategy I use is always sitting down when getting dressed to avoid standing in one leg. Standing in one leg is the absolute worst!
Did it go away when you had your baby?
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Thank you for this! I had SPD with my first pregnancy and it definitely got up to a 9 or 10. My doctor didn’t acknowledge it until I was about 7 months along but chiropractic and physiology helped a little from that point on. I’m just now pregnant again (very early) and already feeling some twinges. I’m going to try to do the exercises at least once a day to try to prevent it from getting bad this time. 🙏🏻🤞🏻
This!!! I’m pregnant with my first and I’ve been in excruciating pain since 26-27 weeks and no one believed me. My OB told me at my most recent appointment that being unable to walk was “normal” and that “the only cure for this is giving birth.”
This is my 3rd pregnancy with severe SPD. I don’t know what to do. My first pregnancy was excruciating my SPD hit me so hard at 33 weeks. I was in physio therapy 4 days a week. Could not walk after 38 weeks. 2nd pregnancy, I got it at 20 weeks and did physical therapy 2-3 times a week. It was not as bad as my first. Now with my third I’m 15 weeks and already in excruciating pain. I’ve been to the chiro 3 times this week. My pubic area and sacrum and hip are in so much pain. I’m desperate for relief so I’m going to try this. 🙏
I will try these strategies
I hope they help 💞
Hi there - ive just started with the pain and want to cry through lack of help and advice. Especially in lowdown with the NHS being so swamped. Thank you for posting! I can find two videos and you reference a series of four - please can you share the links to all 4 videos as i just cant seem to locate them - thank you
Also, try sleeping in a recliner with your knees together :) or you water exercises are great too!
Thanks so much for this, I gave birth to my daughter late January and two days after, I was admitted in the hospital as I couldn't move my legs. Was in the hospital for 2 weeks and the pain reduced from 10 to 6. Av been on drugs since I was discharged and I can't really say I feel much better. I will be trying all your strategies and I hope it works for me. God bless you for sharing this.
How are you doing? My story is similar to yours. Do you have any tips
@@mareezy ALWAYS LIE DOWN, avoid moving around to speed the healing, Get people to help with cooking and cleaning or laundry. Use pain relief such as diclofenac and paracetamol to ease the pain, and most importantly PRAY. It took exactly 6 months for the pain to vanish, so dont worry, u will be fine.
@@adedayookafor605 o nice, so you are completely healed and pain free right now?
@@mareezy yes.
Me too, after giving birth to my daughter, i readmitted to the hospital because my leg was trembling and the pain score was 10! I had fever and shivering. Cannot walk properly and if i have to make any move the pain would be sharp.
My pain is never below a 5. I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant. I can't walk without my partner's assistance, holding the wall or crutches most of the time. And getting out of bed or out of the car will have me in tears. My doctor is at a loss on how to help. Tylenol, very gentle movements, sleeping in the recliner instead of in bed and cold baths can sometimes help a little.
Oh I’m so sorry, Karli ... that’s sounds terrible 😢 I so wish I could take the pain away. I’ve heard others say they have to sleep in a recliner as well. Sending you so much strength to get through this. 💪
Helping husband is a good tip to help the pain
My child is now 11 years old and I suffered with SPD flares every month when pre menstrual. I am a trans man and I have just started testosterone therapy (3 months in) and my SPD pain has virtually disappeared which confirmed my suspicion that even after pregnancy, how much of the inflammation was triggered by hormones. The thing that helps the most when the joint pain flares up is compression shorts, they take the pain from a 7 or 8 down to a 3 and allow me to get on with my day. Secondly, my physio advised to carry a plastic bag around with me to sit on when in a car making swivelling round with both knees pressed together far easier as it reduces the friction from your clothing and the seat.
Hello! Thank you so much for these tips :) That is both interesting and super helpful. It does make sense about the hormones. I'll make sure to include these tips and I hope others read this comment too who are in pain. Thanks again for taking the time to comment and help others :)
I m neither pp nor pregnant my younger one is 7 years . Suffering from pelvic pain with 9 rating it has been a year even I have lower back pain ;I could not find any physiotherapist for pelvic pain in India so please help me with same to get rid of this terrible pain.Your video gives me little hope.
34 weeks pregnant and most days the pain is a level 6-7. I can feel it in the crease of my left thigh. It was still tolerable during the second trimester, but third trimester is killing me. Turning over in bed is the absolute worst, that can go up to an 8-9. Getting up from bed or the couch is about a 7-8. Somehow it gets a bit better during the day but can still feel it :( Hope it goes away after giving birth!
How are you? I hope you are doing great. I'm at the hospital because of it. Very painful
omg this is me right now :(
Thank you for this! I will definitely share this with my yoga students that struggle with this!
Thanks Crystal! Have a great weekend!
Love u Jessica
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the information. Will all 4 strategies apply to a pregnant woman- 7th month?
For me, the pain started at week 25 (2 weeks ago) and when it spikes it’s a 10/10. Ended up in the emergency room and haven’t been able to work since it started.
My kid is almost 7 and I STILL get flare-ups! Going to start these excercises to see if it helps. Thank you!
oh no...that's terrible. I hope these help and you get relief :)
Same! Mine is 8 😢
Physio never helped me and t’s been 6months postpartum. I hope this works!
Those strategies have helped a lot. Some days are better than others. I will have to ask my ob, but I was wondering if I can keep exercising (low intensity work outs) with SPD. Any idea?
Mine is like a 1 or 2. I am 39 weeks and 2 days away from being 40 weeks. My hips just started cracking any time I roll over in bed. It isn’t really painful. It feels weird and maybe a tiny bit sore. I’m going to a chiropractor soon and hopefully they can help as well but I’m going to try theses tips as well. Thank you so much for your videos! :c)
I have tried different strategy to roll over .. put pillow to the side at which u want to move and put your body weight on that pillow using your elbows move your other leg towards first.., this will decrease the distance between the legs .. and when you wholly put your legs and weight over the pillow slowly take out the pillow .. this will reduce the pain upto 60 percent
This pain started for me about a week ago at 24 weeks. It was probably between 3-5 and I would feel much better in the morning after a good sleep (I always had a pillow between the knees even before pregnancy). Mostly hurt when putting weight on one leg, particularly my right leg, so I have to get off the floor by getting on all fours and rocking onto both feet. I work with small children so I have to get up and down A LOT! Yesterday I did something dumb and carried a frozen turkey around Walmart (I hate getting carts) and by time I got to my car I was in a lot of pain. Today has been rough, more like 7-8 pain. Trying all the exercises for relief 😫
Hello, thanks for your video what excercise can one do for pubic symphasis widening after birth
Level 5 pain, Ice and Pelvic floor physio adjustments and ICE
So helpful :)
Thank you so much for this!! I would say my pain is 4-5, but it has become too uncomfortable to go on my long walks anymore.... Once symptoms subside, is it ok to go back to a normal workout routine? I’ve been trying to stay active throughout pregnancy but have stopped my normal barre/Pilates classes because of the pain
what helps me with pubic pain is: squizing my knees together, exercises without separating my legs (up and down lifts🙅🏽♀️), eating seasame seeds, small steps while walking,
Thank you for sharing💞
Ugh pain 7-8 started around 20 weeks and is getting worse and worse (32 weeks now but measure 34 weeks) had my babies too close together and didn’t let my body heal 😭
How common is this type of pain? I must say, this channel is starting to have a lot of impact on my decision whether or not to get pregnant!
How To Make Dinner oh no!! I’m just targeting all the problems, but lots of moms LOVE pregnancy! I’ll have to bring Octavia over to give you her sweetness before you decide 😉
I won't change my pregnancies for the world, I would go through all that pain and suffering all over just for my babies. All my pregnancies were horrid, but in the end it was worth it. From the time you hear there heart beat for the first time, to there first kicks,, to constant all day nausea, aching ass boobies, heartburn, sever pelvic pain, vomiting, them kicks that just shoot through your stomach and when they are just nice and comfy setting in by your spine, swollen ass legs ankles feet . Its all worth it in the end. When they hand them to your arms, you will truly know unconditional love 💘.
I had to have c-sections for all of mine. High risk pregnancies. My pelvic pain is on a level epic 10!! But I didn't really get much of any break between my last 2 . I had found out I was was pregnant again 4/5 months post partum c-section, non fun down there lol 😆 😅 but I know I need to strengthen this pubsis symsitis mess. It's god awful, sex , sitting, walking, trying to sleep, bend , roll over etc. I want to scream my damn head of, do not let me get started with the blasted heavy ass periods either! 😒 but I'm getting on this durn reform and it could only get better, I think I reached the most worst on the scale ⚖ 😅 🙃 baby dust you.
If your scared/nervous, very understandable. Just do the exercises before you get pregnant, during, and after. I'm sure you'll put your body in a much better situation to support your growing little one, then I did. Good luck to you ^_^ 💜💙💚💜🙏
Pain is at probably an 8, hoping these help. I'm in my second trimester and I feel like the pain is getting worse. Thanks for the tips.
Oh no... that sounds terrible. I hope you get some relief. Another mom says sleeping in a recliner helped a lot as well.
Never had a pregnancy. I run half marathons and ride horses (Dressage). I believe I strained my joint squeezing too hard with my legs riding, working on a difficult movement, and over a few months may have pulled on that joint too much. I would score mine a 7 at times. I have gone from competing in trail running to can't run around the block.
Are the exercises on your back safe for 30 weeks? I do so much to avoid being on my back but would love to do these exercises!
Thank you for the tips and tricks! I've had pubic bone pain with my first baby, and now with my second. I haven't been as diligent with exercising during this pregnancy, and so I hope to try to incorporate some of these exercises during little moments of my day :) In the past and during this pregnancy, I have found that seeing my chiropractor every 2 weeks for adjustments has been very helpful! The adjustments are painful since she has to press on the area that is already sore, but I always feel so much better afterwards!
👌
💕
Hello! 8 weeks PP and just found out at a second follow up that this is what I have! I definitely cannot bend down, sit down or open my legs without feeling pain! I started the exercises today! Maybe I will go back to my pregnancy pillow. Super bummed about not being able to get back to working out (previous INSANITY instructor), but I know I need to be safe and this will be better in the long run. I would say my pain is about a 7 regularly and about an 8 after doing your exercise video. My doctor told me if i don’t see a difference in 2 months go to a professional in person so I will be following you! Thank you so much! Do you have videos for dequervain’s tendonitis?
How did you do? Any tips? I'm miserable, going through pain now. Am post-partum
My pain level is 9/10 it hurts constantly and its excruciating. I haven't gone to the ER but that is only because I know there really isn't anything they can do since being pregnant means no pain relievers. I can hardly walk, I can stand in one spot so long as I have equal weight on both feet, as soon as I go to take a step (no matter how big or small) I'm screaming in pain. Sleeping on my side is also extremely painful. I sleep sitting up because even though it is still uncomfortable, it is the only position that is not excruciating... the only problem with that sleeping position is it aggravates my back, so I can only sleep for a couple hours at a time. Then I have to get up to alleviate pressure on my back. I am at the point of tears and I have 4 more weeks until my due date.
I should also mention that because of covid, I cannot afford to see a physiotherapist or chiropractor. My doctor knows of my issue but has done absolutely nothing to help as she says there is nothing that can be done aside from physiotherapy. I think I may talk to her about getting induced because the pain is unbearable.
OMG. Exactlyy what I'm feeling!!! It's really painful, everytime I needed to get up or walk I always need my husband to be there to assist me on walking. I can't even go the bathroom alone or even sleep on my side 😭
Get some crutches! It's the only thing that's saving me until my due date. I tried a walker and it didn't help. Crutches make it tolerable to get to the bathroom and kitchen for food.
love your videos thank you x
Thanks so much, Krista! Hope you are not in too much pain
@@PregnancyandPostpartumTV manageable thank you for asking. I saw your video on exercises to reduce pain. Can I ask if the bridge is safe to do even in 3rd trimester due to the tilted backward + raise position? Thanks so much !!x
Krista Degaetano Hi Krista, yes, if you are going up and down in bridge it’s usually okay (of course always check with your own doctor). The reason they say not to go on your back for extended times is because the weight of your baby/uterus could possibly compress your vena cava (blood vessel bringing back blood from lower body to heart). If it’s just a short period, Or you if you are moving around (bridges) this shouldn’t be a concern.
@@PregnancyandPostpartumTV thank you so much for your time !!! x yes i agree!
Second pregnancy and this time I know much more about this, but also experiencing the typical symptoms much earlier. Right now I'd say the pain level is about a 2, but at night when I turn around it cracks like crazy... I have a belt (Ergoloc), but when I put it on it actually starts to hurt more. Is it maybe too early to use the belt? I wanna tackle this problem early enough so it doesnt get too painful in the end. I only put on the belt when I do housework like cleaning... also, we live on the 3rd floor with no elevator.... and I have a 1,5 year-old... thanks so much for your videos!
I'm at a pain level 5, I'm at 18weeks with my 3rd pregnancy. My first was moderate pain, my second was excruciating and this one is even worse and sooner. I've had pain since 10 weeks. I'm hoping these help. My midwife is also my chiro so we are working on manual. The pillow is giving me issues now, im trying new pillows for netter stabilization. I just got a belly band too.
My pain is halfway between my pelvis and naval as well as the area where my legs connect to my torso... I’m afraid of icing because it’s hard for me to tolerate cold so I have not tried that before..or yet. My pain level is 4 on many days, but 8 on days when I’ve done too much... I never go to ER because I feel like there is nothing they can do...
Roll over is closed legs for me.
So far I’ve been on bed rest for 14 weeks. I’ll be 24 weeks tomorrow.
I will also try the pelvic belt my PT gave me.
I feel like nothing works...
Thank you so much for all you are doing for this community. I have few questions about VBAC and SPD, can I write you an email? I love all your GD guides and exercise videos. Very very helpful
Hi .. Same here.. Trying for VBAC with SPD.. how about you? Delivered the baby or yet to??
Just saw a PF PT this morning and this is the belt she recommended specifically for SPD (SEROLA® Sacroiliac Belt, Medium - Fits 34” to 40” Hip Measurement www.amazon.com/dp/B000NIFVLW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QRvtFb583YTPV). It’s meant to go much lower than most belly bands because it’s supporting the pelvis not necessarily the belly. And she recommended support garments (underwear/leggings) for the belly!
I am a victim 😢started after my fist pregnancy last year..rendered me immobile for 2 months,I tot enemies were out to get me cos women and doctors around me claimed my case was new and not ordinary to dem 😳I saw hell 😢
Same, my daughter born in February. I couldn’t walk after she was born. Worse pain ever. Physical therapist at the hospital said I was the 2nd case in 12 years of her being there. Pubic symphysis diastasis.
I’m 7 days post partum and it’s got worse over the days. My pain is 9... I’m sobbing and can’t even walk or lift my feet.
Literally screaming when moving around. The muscles in my abdomen have joined in now thanks to straining to move.
This is me now... 1 wk pp and crying. How are you feeling now?
Until when did you experience this? My baby is now 5month old but still experience a little pain. 🥺
3 weeks postpartum and still cant get up from bed and cant walk..
Im really struggling with the pain too its horrible i cant even move
I really thought it was just me I am currently 2 weeks postpartum and my pain started 3 days after delivery at 1st I thought it was just me being sore but then I couldn't walk without help, my husband would carry me because the pain was so intense right now I used a waist band and it's helping but they send me to therapy so I'm waiting for my appointment but I'm trying to look for some exercises to try at home. I didn't think this was even possible 😢 I'm trying to stay positive...
I guess I’ll have to see someone because I feel pain literally everywhere down there - everywhere you described.. my legs and ankles have been swollen my entire pregnancy so crossing my legs are a no go. I’m 9 months now 3 weeks to go really.. I’ve tried exercises for the swelling but no luck and I’m literally in so much pain in my groin area it’s unreal... I have a belly band also that doesn’t help a bunch cuz I feel like I waited too long maybe...
I just got home from a 3 day stay at the hostel because of this ...they gave me crutches and symbalta ...im 24 weeks pregnant...and my pain it definitely at a 9
Did they talked to you about getting a csection or how far apart is your joint apart?
I went to the er and all they did was send me home saying theres nothing they can do but for me to go to physical therapy 🙄.
Mine is a 5.
Hard to roll over and everytime i sit up it has to crack to feel relief
A former PT of mine said if you can’t do donkey kicks you can drag your pointer foot back and return it back to position. Regardless, it helps immensely to contract your lower abdominals to stabilize yourself during thar exercise. Don’t just lift a heavy leg without grounding yourself!
I do not have pain on pubis bone until I
Press with my fingers... but my adductors pain when I turn around in bed or after a 10 min walk. Difficult to put my jeans on while standing on one leg. Will these exercises help with adductor pain as well? Thanks for ur help
I'd say mine is 8-9.
If I didnt have kids already I think I wouldve already went to the hospital.
This is my 4th pregnancy in 4 years. So 3 littles at home, and I'm now 5 weeks from due date.
I've had this pain before but it started late in the pregnancy and never got this bad.
This pregnancy it started around 24 weeks, didnt think it would get this bad and let my pride get in the way of opening up to how much pain I am in. The last couple weeks have gotten so bad, I'm depressed because I cant do simple tasks, I havent slept well at all in the last few nights. Getting up from lying down is the worst stabbing/snapping pain, then I limp like the legs arent attached. I've been seeing a chiro the last few weeks with no change and taking the pain meds allowed and using the belly band.. I see the physical therapist next week but by then I'll be 36 weeks...
I kinda feel like doing anything at this point will be useless until the planning of the next pregnancy (which I'm honestly not even sure I can handle).
I just saw today having my kids really close in age could be a reason why..
Thankyou. Just thank you. Just had my second baby. Pregnancy was terrible. I was in pain everyday. I’m now 5 weeks postpartum and obviously much better however I still have terrible tail bone pain when I lie down and when separating my legs for exercises (on my back)
My pain level is 2-3. Is it okay to continue squats ( both narrow and sumo squats) and other lower body exercises?
Am pregnant now its 9 month .i have lot of pelvic pain when i sleep .and going to change my position from one side to other .is it help me to reduce pain
My level pain is 10. Thank god found your video. Can I do it in 30 weeks ?!
The close knee one helps the best
I have this kind of pain I can't get up from bed because is hurt and even stand and wolking
Is doing ballet, which heavily engages the inner thigh muscles, good or bad? Jumps I suppose don't help...
So glad I found you! I'm a level 5 when walking and rolling over--enough to yelp in pain. I love my J-shape pillow for sleeping, as I just pinch it between my knees and bear hug it over to my other side. Use your buns to move, huns.
I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my second child after having my first last year. I told my doctor two weeks ago I was having this issue and just because my husband is in the military and I asked for a note for his higher up. That I need to be on bedrest and he’ll need to stay longer at home. She didn’t put me on bed rest. Now I’m at a 10 pain scale. It takes me 5 minutes to get out of bed in the morning. I can barely walk on most days but have to push through. Even with sleeping with a pillow im between my legs have stopped working. I have to constantly be up and moving because my first baby is well developing and growing and we don’t have the means to pay for childcare so I’m always up and down. Making sure because of my health I’m not affecting or not doing the best I can for her. They only gave me a pregnancy belt to help. And that barely helps. Idk what to do 🤦🏻♀️ I want to try these exercises but im so worried I’ll be doing damage are these exercises okay for 30weeks + pregnancy???
Can you do these when pregnant please
