How I’m managing my SPD flare during pregnancy ⬇️
(SPD = pelvic pain and joint instability due to loosening pelvic joints)
✅First, lots of rest with 2-5 min walking breaks often. Keeping my steps close together to minimize pain. Laying down felt better than sitting personally.

✅ Lastly, adding back in single leg exercises (hopefully!) and/or running if it doesn’t aggregate my pelvis
