#109: Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction - Why You Might Have Pain in Your Crotch During Pregnancy Artwork

Moms In Motion

Welcome to the Moms In Motion podcast! Your hosts are Krista Williams (pregnancy & postpartum athleticism coach) and Jenn Perna (pelvic floor physical therapist). We are running our businesses, running our households, and trying not to run ourselves into the ground while juggling it all. We are here to support you through all stages of motherhood with honest, relatable, and sometimes unfiltered conversations.

Tune into this show weekly so we can help you build your village, reconnect with your mom bod, and possibly even navigate business ownership and motherhood, better.

We are located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and refer to each other constantly to best support moms in the area. We believe the relationship between a personal trainer specializing in working with moms, and pelvic floor PT is an absolute must for moms to thrive in motherhood. Please remember that this show is not meant to treat or diagnose any medical condition, so don't ever hesitate to contact your own provider team with any concerns.

Thanks for joining us, and please reach out with feedback or questions!

#109: Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction - Why You Might Have Pain in Your Crotch During Pregnancy

December 08, 2025 • Krista Williams & Jenn Perna

Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction is an actual pain in the crotch. If you've experienced it during pregnancy, you know what we mean! The cause, however, and therefore the treatment, is different for everyone. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for SPD, but you definitely don't have to just live with the pain! No matter what, this is absolutely something you should see a Pelvic Floor Therapist for, even if you've been told 'it's just part of pregnancy' or 'it will go away when you deliver the baby' - because that is not always the case!

We will have 3 different types of episodes and one will drop each week on Mondays!
