Has anyone had this earlier in pregnancy? I had it with both of my boys but it came much later like 26+ weeks and towards the end but I'm only 16.3 weeks along. I started getting pubic bone pain and it really hurts. I'm wearing a maternity belt already because I already have a bump forming and the doctor felt it would help with preventing any problems from where I had 3 hernia's repaired from my last pregnancy. The belt helps some but this morning really gave me a time trying to get ready for work.
I think my average is every other week second trimester through second trimester, once a week first 2 months of 3rd tri and then twice a week the last month.
FWIW, I fully believe this not only helped minimize pregnancy pains but helped get everything aligned in an ideal position and allowed me to have have natural births despite giant (11lb and 10.1lb) babies.
I'll have to try a chiropractor. I have big babies for my size. I'm only 5'1 and have almost 8lb babies so I get pretty massive around my abdomen when pregnant. I had a bi-lateral inguinal and ventral hernia's from carrying my 7lb 15oz son the last pregnancy. We're expecting this one to be 8.5-9lbs.
Just remember end of pregnancy weight guesses and ultrasounds are pretty inaccurate And subsequent babies aren’t always bigger than the ones that come before them so no need to worry.
I don't really go here anymore but I second nama's suggestion. I developed SPD early in my pregnancy but like a dummy didn't do anything about it until 32 weeks. I went to a Webster certified chiropractor 2-3 times a week. I had my baby at 37 weeks 6 days without an epidural (it was something I wanted). I absolutely believe the adjustments made a difference.
