SHE ALSO HAS A CONDITION CALLED EHORS-DANLOS SYNDROME > With Ehler-Danlos Syndrome there is increased weakness or flexibility of joints. A pubic symphysis separation might fit in with this. This may get worse. A mild separation wil allow ambulation. A more extensive separation might stop her from walking and require a walker for strength and balance. This should not affect her ability to carry to term. After delivery, depending upon how severe the problem is at the time, physical therapy may be necessary.
