symphysis pubic dysfunction and vbacs

anyone have any info on if this will effect the ability to successfully vbac? i just developed this SPD pain over the last 2 days and am pretty sure it's what i have going on and man it hurts! i haven't called my doc's yet just to feel out how this weekend goes (i work tomorrow and sunday night as a nurse so we'll see how i'm feeling after all that walking). i'm wondering if it will make my glowing candidacy for a vbac decrease? i hope not! although i won't be devastated either.

I don't know anything about it, but hope it doesn't affect your candidacy. Good Luck and hope you feel better!

Thanks, it actually isn't as bad today as it was last night! Although I have two 12 hr shifts to get through this weekend at work that might not feel so peachy! I've been up and down our 3 floor townhouse several times already this AM and not really uncomfortable, so maybe I just got carried away last night! Either way, I'll be sure to chat my OB up in a week and a half at my next appt!

I deal with SPD too, and it's well under control mainly through chiropractic care. You MUST see a chiropractor, one who is familiar with this pain.

I had it with my first, and I do not recall any pain in labor. I had c/s for other reasons. And, for this coming birth in a few weeks, I'm not worried at all about SPD affecting the birth.
