Hi,
In my experience SPD tends to occur in the most extreme cases around the end of the second trimester.

SPD really is a loosening of the pelvis by the pregnancy hormones and the weight of the pregnancy.

Have you been in touch with an obstetric physiotherapist? If not then it may be worth doing so.

Kind regards

Hi,

All abdominal pain in pregancy should be checked out, if it continues then get checked out again.

Hi,

Weight gain in pregnancy is a very individual thing and women will all put weight on at different times during their pregnancy, that's why we do not routinely weigh a each appointment any more.

Maternal weight gain has very little to do with how well your baby is doing and providing you attend your antenatal checks regularly your baby's well being will be monitored.

In the early weeks if you have been plague by sickness then yes weight loss is common.

Also if you are overweight to start with then you may well not put any weight on.

Ensuring that you try and have a healthy well balanced diet will benefit both you and the baby. If your diet is poor then a multivitamin especially for pregnancy may be advised.

Kind regards

Hi,

All women now have a dating scan, the best time to date a pregnancy is around 10-12 weeks.

If all goes well and you have no symptoms of anything untoward happening then there is no real reason to scan before this time.

I would be reassured by your previous pregnancy and by your midwife's advice.

Kind regards
Alison
