Hi, I hope it's okay to ask here. I'm 6 months (27 wk) pregnant with hEDS and owwww. I'm really struggling with SPD, where your pelvis starts to separate and... Look, I'm sure y'all understand that I'm used to pain. But this is SO much worse than it's ever been, which I expected, but ........ Ow.

So my question is:

1. Has anyone who had bad SPD found any support with the pelvic belts or belly bands, and

2. if so do y'all have any recommendations?

I'm going to ask my OB for a referral to a physio at my next appointment, but like... I'm in so much pain every day I've been in what I refer to as a flare for the better part of a month. I need a fucking break. If there's anything y'all could recommend before I can get into a physio I'd really appreciate it — I'm just so tired of being in constant severe pain.

Hey there, I hope this is okay to ask. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and.... I am having real bad SPD especially because, imo, I have EDS (hypermobility, so laxity due to hormone shifts is no stranger but also... So much worse than it's ever been, which I expected, but ........ Ow)

Okay, y'all, since nothing but Tylenol is apparently safe, what the actual fuck have y'all found that works to manage pain during pregnancy? I'm 6 months and fuckin dying.

EDIT UPDATE so embarrassing but it was just apparently a very hydrated pee. Here's hoping the bill for a ten second swab and single lab isn't 500$ 😫. But thanks everyone for keeping me company through this bullshit

I'm going to preface this with I'M CALLING OB SOON AS THE OFFICE OPENS. So please don't start with that, I know, but it's very early (not yet 5 am) and I'm freaking out so reddit it is.

Ok this is gross. So I often, when throwing up, pee myself. I kind of expect it, I throw up HARD (I've had burst blood vessels in my face regularly and made my throat bloody multiple times) and my body does a whole LET LOOSE THE BALLAST.

Here's the thing. Tonight (around an hour ago) I threw up real hard and as I was leaning over the toilet Doing The Thing I peed, but like... It was a massive amount, like a hose between my legs, and all clear. I was too focused on throwing up to really clock if it was coming from my urethra or vagina. I dropped my granny panties and they soaked up most of it, now I've got to wash them in the am. I cleaned up the rest once I stopped puking, but it freaked me out. I sometimes have very light urine (idk I guess I hydrate well? But I've always had this unless I'm actively dehydrated, even pre pregnancy) but like, wouldn't it still smell ammonia y in that quantity?

Baby is wiggling inside me a normal amount for what I've been feeling the last few weeks, I didn't feel any kind of pop or pain, nothing that I could go "oh that's a contraction" or anything. I'm lying down right now trying to not have a full-blown panic attack. I'll call OB in the morning. Idk what else to do — has anyone else had this happen? Did I just piss myself like a drunk sorority girl?
