It, however, it not too surprising considering you are caring two in there! I would suggest a few things. 1. Any pose that takes the pressure off the pelvic floor and pubic bone area will help relieve the discomfort temporarily. Poses like downward facing dog or "butt up" child's pose. 2. You may also consider wearing a belly band that lifts the pressure and weigh off the pelvis. Bella Bands is a good brand. 3. Do not over stretch pubic bone area. Modify your standing poses by bringing your legs closer in and do not do unsupported squats or deep baddha konasana (tailor's pose) 4. You may want to visit a physical therapist that is well versed in pelvic floor disorders. If you are in NYC, try Isa Herrera at Renew Physical Therapy (877-736- 3978) Hope you feel better soon!

As for side lying as an option for a woman with SPD, the research I did, support this as a favorable options. I also checked with a midwife who agreed it would be much better than supine because it takes the pressure off the pubic bone. I have also successfully used side lying for VBAC moms, although, I did find "all 4's" and the "tug of war" position to be the most effective. Thanks for the comment.

Also, I do not recommend side lying for a woman with SPD or a woman VBACing a baby (especially when there may be concerns regarding pelvic size) unless labor is happening too quickly. Like supine, it can contract the pelvic opening. Hmm, I’m having trouble visualizing Herrera’s suggestion and how that keeps the knees from opening too wide in the squatting position.
