anyone else?

Im 24 +3 days I am suffering from what the dr calls spd or symphasis pubic dysfunction its basically this u your body produces a hormone called relaxin when your pregnant loosens your pubic bones for delivery well my body produces too much relaxin so my pubic bones crunch crack and pop when I move especially at night in bed it causes terrible pain to the point I can barely walk sometimes well I looked up this condition online it says some women are in a wheelchair by the end of the pregnancy and it also causes some issues with labor and delivery.. my doctor is not taking it seriously at all passing it off as normal pregnancy pains but its way more serious then the obgyn is makin it sound so how do I make them take it seriously? Or do I need to switch doctors? Idk im so over this tho pain is excruciating Tylenol does nothing.

I would switch doctors of I feel he's not listening and helping. Idk what that is or what it feels like but you should be taken serious!

Probably worth going to a physio who is experienced with maternal care... They would have a much better understanding of what's going on and how to manage it
