Regarding pain at the pubis symphysis [Issues 2:26 & 27],
many women experience pain at the pubis during pregnancy
that is caused by misalignment of the pubic bones rather
than excessive separation. A physical therapist can easily
help align the pubic bones which greatly alleviates the pain
and allows the pregnant woman to return to her normal level
of activity. Midwives can also learn this simple technique.
It is a great trick to know, but I don't think I can
describe it on email!
