Amy Said:

A job similar to a physical therapist?

We Answered:

Occupational therapy and occupational therapy assisting is another exciting field, one that I've thought about going into. Dental hygiene is also a very nice field with lots of openings, and they make good money.

Diagnosed with Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction.. how will it affect my job?

We Answered:

I was in exactly the same situation. I was in 1-2 when I was diagnosed, but was moved down to babies as it was a lot quieter in there. You should also be doing a regular risk assessment (I did one weekly) to keep a check on any task that is causing you bother.
My physio was able to give me a belt straight away, which helped, but she also gave me some excersise to do which really made a difference. The easiest one was pelvic tilts, lie flat on your back and tilt your pelvis back so the whole of your spine touches the floor. Lots of pelvic floor excercises too.
When getting in/out of bed or car, don't spread your legs apart, keep your knees together and swivel on your bum. Sleep with a pillow between your knees. Try not to walk around too much (hence me being put in babies, no running around after them, just sit down for cuddles and bottles!). Go swimming, but don't swim, just bob around in the water and let the wamth soothe you, again keeping your legs together. Once you've seen the other physio and are starting to feel better, (and believe me, you will!) try to find some aqua-natal classes and tell the instructor about your SPD.
Most of all, just take it easy and TRY to enjoy your pregnancy! Good luck with the rest of it and here's to a beautiful baby!
(Make sure the midwives know about the spd when you go into labour so they don't yank your legs around.)
