Plus they won't take your word for it that it's your last baby! They'll always veer on the side of caution... you might change your mind!

precisely! Had i not met the oh Maddie would have been my last baby. I swore blind to the MW that it was my last :rotfl: but i still had the injection due to the transfusion issues. Nearly five years later and here I am again dreading that sodding needle!! but i know if she is a different blood group i really DO need it.:)

Triangle I've joined in the world of maternity leave my last day was today, had some lovely prezzies off everyone, but one of them is a monitor (very generous!) but we already have an angel care one with sensor pad so not sure what to do with that, feel guilty selling a gift, but we don't need two!

It feels weird to know I won't be going to work until 25th February 2013 although I'll have work related stuff as I got a date for my employment tribunal, in September, to last 5 days, eep - baby will only be 3 months by then so i think it will be hard to leave her/him for 5 full consecutive days!!

Question for those of you nearing due date - anybody sometimes feel like the baby is going to fall out if you don't clench, or that you are sitting on the poor thing?? Am sooooo uncomfortable down there, I'm sure it is head butting me in the pelvis bones!!!

Any of u spd sufferers? How did u did out u had spd? I just said to my midwife I was having pain but I couldn't distinguish it from my normal back pain from an old sporting injury. She asked a couple of questions said its spd and referred me to physio. Do they not need to do an examination or something to check?

Miss_Money

rjh usually they ask you a load of q's about where the pain is when it started etc. I have an old back injury but the pain is very different to that. In my 1st pregnancy i had physio for the spd as it was in my hips and lower back and i had awful sciatica... in pregnacy number 2 i knew what the pain was and told the mw what i was going through again she sent me to physio and they confirmed what i already knew. With this pregnancy the pain is in a different place but i saw the gp who said it was spd just making itself known in a different place.. in my groin and upper thighs this time. they didn't examine me, i think it's so common in pregnancy they are trained to see the signs.
hope that helps.

Thanks miss money. I have bad sciatica feel like a 20 stone woman is sitting on my tailbone and the best waddle u have ever seen. At night I get the hip ouchies. And I look like an eerily walking up stairs so try to avoid it at all costs

Sympathies to all of you with spd - it sounds horrific. I'm so glad I have managed to avoid something like that - I'm grumpy enough with my ordinary aches in my back/hips/knees. I don't think I'd cope very well with anything as extreme as some of you poor ladies

Rjh, I have SPD and Coccydynia (think thats how you spell it) have you tried a gel cushion or one of these http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8650610/Trail/searchtext%3ECUSHION.htm
