Do you mean SPD - symphysis pubis dysfunction?

I have SPD. unfortunately for me it's not just at night, it's an anytime i decide to get crazy and try to walk thing.

the suggestions i've heard are to be careful with your movements. try to keep your legs together when getting out of bed, your car, etc. sit down when putting pants, shoes etc on instead of standing on one leg. i've heard a chiropractor can help and am considering that.

the only thing that really helps me is to do as little as possible. any walking around, even for a little while, and it's gets really bad. my doctor suggested i try to work from home a few days a week if possible since my commute involves stairs and walking. still waiting on my manager to bother to e-mail me back about it.

Keep your knees together as you do things, Including rolling over in bed, and stick a pillow between your knees when you sleep.

There's an earlier post about this. It took me 3 weeks of going to the chiropractor 3 times a week but I can walk again. I hate the way it feels to get my back adjusted but in the end it's worth it. Try to find a chiropractor who is familiar with working with pregnant ladies. When I go to mine there are so many pregnant ladies in the waiting room you would think it's an OB office.

I have SPD. As others said it really helps to Becareful with your movements. try not to do anything to throw your pelvis out of alignment, and avoid standing for long periods of time. It has helped me a ton to sleep with a pillow between my legs. I also found my SI belt holds everything in place. I also went to physical therapy twice a week for two months. It was helpful but time consuming.

Ditto all of this. I do WFH quite a bit and that helps too. I basically try to sit as much as possible.

I've heard belly supports can help too because it helps take some of the downward pressure off your pelvis.
