Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) or Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction (SPD)

Since last month, my pubic area near my left thigh joint has started to hurt, and now it hurts quite badly whenever I try to stand up or squat. I told the doctor and he says it's normal, can't remember the reason but something about my pelvis is small and need to expand. Any other mummys got this? How do you cope with this? It's getting more and more painful now that my tummy is getting bigger and bigger... 😢 #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #FTM #advicepls #respect_post #firstmom

Got SPD since 26 weeks pregnant and hospital referred me to physio. But they can only teach u exercise to strengthen pelvic muscles, cannot totally get rid of pain. Also told me to be prepared that it will get worse when baby grow bigger during third trimester. Now I’m 33 weeks and apart from SPD, I also experience hip n lower back pain. Zzz
