Hey all, it's been ages since I've posted, but I'm still alive!! We were away all weekend visiting DHs family, and I haven't felt like posting since we got back. Quick update on me, I've seen the physio twice now, she says my bad back is due to relaxin hormone being produced too early, and my sacroiliac joints in pelvis have moved apart. Muscles have been trying to compensate which has damaged them leaving me in agony
Was a pretty miserable weekend away, DH had to do everything for Charlotte, I can't lift her at all, so couldn't change nappy, cuddle, put her to bed. I just had to go and keep lying down in people's houses. The driving and flights were proper agony. Spent a good few days on the 30/500 cocodamol, so then totally constipated. The good thing was it obliterated the headahces.
Anyway since we got back on Monday night I woke up feeling much better yesterday morning, able to move around, but still can't sit or stand for any length of time, so I'm signed off work for at least 2 weeks - although I still have to set work for my classes and write reports at home!!
Now using TENS on my back and have a support belt on, which helps, and stopping the cocodamol and taking some lactulose has helped that particular problem, but now the headaches are back with a vengence. No one seems particularly worried about this though - I think cos my BP is fine, but follow up with Neurologist in March anyway!
Guppy, what is the Bradley Method I've never heard of it?
khegidio I hope the appointment goes/went well (sorry lost track of the dates of posts!)
Mercy, glad you're feeling better, and isn't it great to feel so much movement! Loving your bump too
Llinea congratlations on your wedding, would love to see some photos!!
Mum2bewaiting, what's the deal with the tea? I've been having about 1 cup a day... did you manage to get a bra?!
MrsP how did the new group go with E? As for visitors, I don't know. Some people came round when C was born, but if she was asleep, we didn't let them in her room. My mum was great, (she lives next door, will be hard to stop them visiting!) did useful things for me likewashing, putting away clothes, practical help - still does some of it too, which is great with bad back!
Eoz, hope something can be sorted for your head. I'm suffering too, but don't know what to suggest
Kelly9 good luck with interview and exam!
