Who is struggling with SPD?

[CTri17]

If you are struggling, how did it start? What kind of pain?

I've been having some pelvic pain in the area where SPD would be, but I have never had it before.

Can anyone give me some insight?

I have it on and off, depending on baby's position and how much time I spend in the wrong chairs. Mine started early, maybe around 17 weeks. It feels like the bottom of my pelvic bone is breaking, and moving around gets really difficult when it flares up. It is worst when I sit for a long time and then stand up. Walking makes it better, but running makes it much, much worse.

thanks, I have no idea if that is what I'm dealing with, it's just sore and achy and I haven't had this pain with either of my other pregnancies, so I feel like a newb.

At about 20w I started getting a dull ache in my lower back and buttocks and my legs felt tired and heavy all the time.
A couple of weeks back the back pain progressed to shooting pains down my buttocks and my hips feel like they are grinding. I struggle to put pressure on my legs to push myself up from sitting to standing.
I have been told to make sure when moving that I do so with legs together. Getting in and out cars you should sit then swivel your legs in. Rolling over in bed I was told to lift my legs up to me chest together before I roll because straight legs make it worse.
Apparently sitting too long or standing too long makes it worse (I have to stand on a shop floor 8hours a day) my boss has got me a seat now.
