48. What to Do About SPD in Pregnancy: Real Relief for Pelvic Pain
Experiencing sharp, stabbing pain in the front of your pelvis during pregnancy? You’re not alone — and no, you don’t just have to “deal with it” until birth. In this solo episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, pregnancy personal trainer and prenatal fitness coach Megan Martineau opens up about her personal experience with SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction) in both of her pregnancies and shares real-life, practical strategies to help you find relief.
SPD is a common type of pelvic girdle pain that can feel debilitating — but with the right support, you can stay active, reduce pain, and feel more confident moving through your pregnancy. Megan walks you through what causes SPD, the role of postural shifts, joint instability, and hormones like relaxin, and most importantly — what you can do today to feel better.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
- Signs and symptoms of SPD in pregnancy
- Lifestyle adjustments that bring immediate relief
- The do’s and don’ts of exercising with SPD
- Modifications to continue safe online prenatal workouts
- Why mobility and hip/core strength are essential
- When to seek help from a pelvic floor PT
If you’re currently pregnant and navigating pelvic pain, this episode is your reminder that there are solutions — and you don’t have to suffer in silence.
Whether you’re following a pregnancy fitness program or looking for applicable advice, you’ll walk away from this episode with a renewed sense of empowerment and support from someone who truly gets it.
