Who has experienced symphysis pubis dysfunction during pregnancy, and how did your labor go? My doctor is, to put it mildly, indifferent. She didn't even measure my pelvis. I've been having pain in my pubic area for 1.5 months now. My doctor says, 'What did you expect? Your ligaments are stretching...' I've never had such a nightmare in any of my previous pregnancies. Sometimes I have to crawl off the sofa on all fours. I feel like a disabled person in my own home. At my second screening, I asked the ultrasound technician to check, and they said it was normal—4 mm, but to keep an eye on it. Walking is difficult, getting up and rolling over from side to side is hard. My mother had a symphysis pubis diastasis during labor. She was in a suspended state for 5 months. And her baby wasn't even large—just 3200 grams. So now I'm worried. I'm already terrified of giving birth this time, and now this on top of it.

I couldn't walk for six months. Fast labor, large baby. The doctor was indifferent and systematically ignored my complaints. I gave birth well, but the consequences were not long in coming.
I could only start running again about 2 years after giving birth. Surgery and a sling were considered.

It's normal. 8/11/13. All vaginal births, but during my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies, I had pelvic MRIs to assess risks and chose vaginal birth.
I wore 2 binders during the day (maternity + pubic symphysis support), used taping at night, saw an osteopath, and took Traumeel daily.
After birth, there's noticeable discomfort for a couple of days (but it's less than during pregnancy), and it completely resolved within a month.

My ultrasound showed 16mm before labor. I had a C-section. This is my 3rd baby; I delivered the first two vaginally, and my second was 4670g! But my body decided to do this to me this time 🤪. It turned out for the best, though. My son was born weighing 4400g.
Initially, the doctor at the hospital was indignant when I complained about the pain (everything genuinely hurt by then) and said, 'Do you really think we're going to C-section you a third time just because something hurts?!' Reluctantly, she ordered another ultrasound. And after that, she finally scheduled a C-section.

I had to tie my pelvis tightly afterwards, otherwise it was hard to walk.

tanya Did you have pain before labor too? I just don't know how to get through to my doctor. For her, everything is normal. She has her own protocols. I see her every 1.5-2 months...

Alternate between calcium one week and magnesium the next.
Definitely wear a support belt.
And have ultrasounds for monitoring.
Ultimately, the maternity hospital will decide how you'll give birth, not your OB/GYN from the clinic.

I gave birth twice with 10mm. Everything is fine. The pain goes away immediately after birth. But it still cracks...
If it continues to bother you after birth, I recommend seeing an osteopath. It helped me a lot after my first birth.

I gave birth, I don't know with which one, it was hard to walk from 34 weeks, getting into bed was a disaster. The doctor also said my ligaments were stretching, they didn't send me for an ultrasound of the pubic symphysis, and I didn't even know that was a thing. As a result, I had a rupture during childbirth. I refused hospital care, and for 2 weeks I lived on a sofa in the nursery next to my baby. I won't scare you with how I managed those 2 weeks... Then my mom came, and then my husband went on vacation, and they helped me. My son wasn't born large, 3550g, but he had a large head, like his father's, and that's how it happened. It healed incorrectly somehow, on the X-ray one part is higher than the other, a post-traumatic scar remained with a 6mm gap. In my second pregnancy, at the first screening, the gap was 9mm, then 11mm, the third screening 18mm. In general, I was forbidden to give birth (which was expected), and they performed a C-section. I was so happy, it was like a spa vacation compared to my first birth. I was up after 5 hours, and I took my baby. I had the C-section on December 25th, and on the 27th I was already shopping for New Year's. During the January holidays, I was running around with my older child, playing snowballs, and I even forgot I had surgery.

The first time it wasn't big, under 1 cm, and I delivered vaginally. The second time it was 19 mm, so I had a C-section.

I've been so worried since 16 weeks.
In the end, it seems to have stopped growing at either 7mm or 10mm (different ultrasounds measure differently).
Well, in the end, it hasn't increased since week 32.
So they let me go into labor; I'll tell you more later when things progress :))

tanya Yes, the pain started around 27-30 weeks. It wasn't severe, but it made it difficult to fully use my pelvis when walking or doing everyday activities. Plus, this period fell during winter. If my foot slipped even a little on an icy patch, more than I could control the pain, it was awful. But... honey, what did you expect, you're pregnant.
If I had been more persistent back then, I would have gone to a surgeon myself and requested an ultrasound of my pubic symphysis.

Ask for physiotherapy, it really makes life easier and relieves pain.
