I had SPD with DS. My pubic bone started separating at around 21 weeks (which I've read is pretty early for a 1st pg) and the pain was excruciating. I remember crying on my way out of a meeting at work because I could barely walk back to my desk. I had a hard time getting into and out of bed, and I couldn't lift anything - even a gallon of milk made me hurt. The pain was a little less intense toward the end of the pregnancy - I think it was the worst between 25 and 30 weeks or so - and then it was pretty much gone after birth.<br><br>
Has anyone else experienced this? What happened with subsequent pregnancies? Was it as bad as or worse than the first time you had it?<br><br>
DS is almost a year old (gasp!) and I sometimes still have twinges of pain, usually if I've been walking a lot while carrying/wearing DS. I'm not ready to get pregnant again yet, but I do someday want more kids and I want them to be fairly close together. But I'm so scared about that pain - I keep thinking there's NO WAY I can handle being in that kind of pain and chasing after a toddler. Is there hope that it won't be as bad the second time around, or is it separated for good and it will always hurt?
