I need a moment to over-react.
It's January and I decide to get in shape. Better diet, join Pilates, start running.
It's February. We decide to TTC in August.
It's March. Running and pilates are going so well! I go diving -
It's April - My back and leg hurts so much after diving, I can't run, AND my amazing Pilates teacher decides she's moving.
It's May - No relief after a course of anti-inflammatories, I go to the physio. She explains all this stuff about how jacked up my hips and back are, and that I have a herniated disc. I will need at least 3 months of rehab before I can run again.
How could this be happening?? I just finally got my ish together. I was feeling sooooo good about my body, not just to prepare for pregnancy but just for me! And 3 months of rehab takes me right up to my TTC date. What does that mean?? And my big summer trip is in 2 months, which involves lots of traveling and dancing and walking and it will disrupt my rehab Should I be willing to postpone if I'm not 100% healed by then? Is pregnancy going to throw things out of whack again? Does this mean I might not be able to have a natural childbirth?
I know everything's not ruined...it's going to be okay...and I feel bad that I feel so bad because I know that so many people have so much worse to deal with...but I need a moment to over-react. I'll think rationally tomorrow.
