In this episode, I unravel the mysteries of an often-overlooked aspect of pregnancy – Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). 

I'll delve into what SPD is, why it happens, and how it's a natural part of your body's fantastic preparation for your little one's arrival. But I don't stop there. I've also rounded up some clever, simple, and fun strategies to help you glide through the SPD dance with grace and comfort.

From throwing a 'pillow party' for your hips to finding a new use for that scarf in the drawer, I offer advice that's easy to follow and practical to implement. 

And, of course, I remind you that help is always at hand. With guidance from your midwife and maybe even a physiotherapist, you can personalise these strategies to suit you best.

So, whether you're a mum-to-be experiencing some discomfort or you're simply curious about the wonders of pregnancy, this episode is packed with insights and a generous sprinkle of humour.

Grab your headphones, get comfy, and join me as we step into the fascinating but literal 'pain in the bum' world of SPD in pregnancy. You'll learn, laugh, and leave with a bundle of tips to help make your pregnancy journey as smooth as possible.
