In this episode, I break down Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) — what it is, why it happens, what it feels like, and how to approach it during and after pregnancy. I cover common symptoms, contributing factors, and strategies to manage or reduce discomfort, including movement modifications, strength training, and pelvic stability work. I also share my own experience navigating SPD across two pregnancies — what surprised me, what helped, and how I trained differently the second time around. Whether you’re currently dealing with SPD, supporting someone who is, or just want to understand it better, this episode blends research-backed insight with real-life perspective.
