I posted the following in the 'Tips for those with spd/ pgd' thread, but realised I might get a better response if I posted it as a new topic.

I haven't been diagnosed with either of these, as I'm only 13 weeks ish, but I was wondering... what is it like? I have started to have persistent, moderate pain in my sacro-iliac joints (the ones between the bottom of your spine and the back of your pelvis)

Is this it? midwife keeps insisting tt it's just my ligaments softening, but I used to have a pelvic imbalance and had constant backache in this same place.

Any thoughts?

for me, it was all in the hips. was painful if i walked too much. it hurt getting in and out of cars etc. had to get dressed sitting down coz i couldnt stand on one leg at a time to put trousers on lol
hope this link might be useful
