[quote=Anonymous]Ok. Lots to say here. SPD thru three babies. First, it's perfectly fine to get an epidural with SPD. I delivered vaginally with my second two and got epidurals both times. The key is making sure your nurses and doctors are aware of your SPD. Make sure you tell them you don't want your legs pushed too far back, that you don't want to counter-push against anything (did that with my second and it resulted in horrendous pain for weeks), and that you want help staying as centered and equalized as possible. Third delivery was a piece of cake, even with SPD, and did nothing beyond taking the precautions I mentioned above. Second - don't let anyone tell you that you need a c-section. I did this with my first and the section was miserable, my recovery was miserable and I think it contributed to how bad my SPD was the second time around. It's just unnecessary. Finally - have hope. My third pregnancy was the least difficult with SPD. It was less painful and so much less of an issue. So don't think it happens as bad every time. [/quote]
