Disadvantages: I felt nobody was listening to me

Hi I am Carla, I had a baby in february this year,so he is about five and half months old now. When I was pregnant at 30 weeks I started to suffer from really bad back, pelvis and groin pain, every two weeks I went to my antenatal appointments and I complained of the same pain, the doctor said I wasn't getting enough rest and that this was normal in pregnancy especially as I was expected to have a big baby. As the weeks went on the got worse, it got to the stage where the front of my pelvis was making a cracking noise as I walked, it was worse when I got up first thing in the morning, my husband had to help out of bed.
Due date came and passed and still no baby, I finally had him two weeks over my due date. After birth I still in pain with my back,pelvis and groin, swelling even started around that area. I battled three times at the doctors, I finally got noticed when I kicked up enough fussto get referred to the hospital for treatment which was in the middle of July to be diagnosed with SPD, so that in total was nine months I suffered in pain.
Don't be fobbed off like I was, you deep down yourself that something is not right. I hope that this will help somebody out there so they don't go through what I went through.
