Lianne, forgive my preggo brain, its SPD isn't it? x

yes hun, and its bloody painful

 

[Vickieh1981]

I saw my MW today and so far all is good, passed my GT test, all my other bloods were good too. BP was normal and best of all the HB was strong and just for her trouble the MW got a good couple of kicks, i don't think baba likes being prodded! oh and i'm measuring 29 weeks but as i'm a little on the larger side i presume that accounts for it?

28 week growth scan next thurs so looking forward to that

Hope you're all keeping well big xx

Glad that it all went well hun xx

glad ur appointment went well roonsma.

i now have have a support belt and crutches. using the belt but not the crutches.

-Do you find the belt helps? I just found it uncomfortable.

Mommy2Be-so glad your scan went well. What a relief!

Vickie-Girl you have been through it. Hope baby girl stays in the cocoon a while longer.

AFM-doing ok. Passed glucose test. Yay. Mom has diabetes so I was a little concerned. Having major pelvic pain when I walk, turn over in bed, or put on my pants. Ugh. I called the nurse at my OB's office today and she said it was "normal". Are others having this "normal" pain?

Yes supposedly normal (well as normal as SPD can be) but agonisingly painful. Mine is worse when I have been sat down for a while and then get up. I cried as I hobbled myself to bed last night.

Standing on one leg to put on jeans is a killer.

 

[Lianne1986]

im still in pain quite a lot especially at night, everyone said id get a tubie grip kinda belt but this is nothing like a tubie grip lol its velcro and very awkward to attach round me, if i wear it under my clothes it rubs, and if i wear it over my clothes i have to take it off everytime i go to the toilet which as u prob know is like 50 times in half hour

 

[Vickieh1981]

Sounds like mine. It has three wide velcro straps on it

 

[Lianne1986]

yep thats the one!

i have just walked to the shop n back and on the way back i cud of cried with the pain.

only 11 weeks to go

Lianne, forgive my preggo brain, its SPD isn't it? x

yes hun, and its bloody painful

I remember it well, i'm so grateful it happened so severly with my first for me, those of you with other LO's to look after deserve a medal!

Have you seen a physio? I've been a couple of times and she's given me a few pointers which have actually helped, but mines pretty mild this time(fingers crossed it stays that way)! If your interested then give me a shout and i'll post later, must dash-got a LO to collect from school

Had my scan Yesterday at around noon, thankfully this time I only had to drink a 16 oz drink instead of 32-48 so my bladder wasn't bursting full! right away I was sent to the scanning room as soon as I got there and that's where it all began, she started scanning and didn't say a word to me said she had to do measurements, check for chromosomal abnormalities, blood flow, the kidneys and had to check and see why on the letter my doc sent it said to check his stomach as it appeared rarely large on the previous scan ( which is a down symptom) so for a long 30 minutes she didn't say a word to us I started to panic, I had teary eyes and all of a sudden I asked what's wrong? does He only have 1 kidney? she answered: "yeah, that's my suspicion" and it was back to silence Then she was finally done and looked at us and said I will be right back I have to call the pediatrician omg! right then and there I felt like everything went down hill and started to think the worse.
Finally after he rescanned me he took his gloves off both him and the nurse where holding my babies pictures and then said, "well do you know why you are here" and I said yes the kidneys and apparently something about his stomach and he said "yes, well It appears he does only have one kidney but it is perfectly fine and functioning, we looked long and hard for any problems or abnormalities and couldn't find anything wrong with him" OMG PHEWWW I finally felt like I could breathe when he said that! so I said well is he ok, is he gonna live and doc said "yeah, he is more than ok he is a healthy little boy , everything seems right, and having one kidney is rare like being left handed but doesn't mean anything bad,it just makes him unique! so your baby is fine, also nothing is wrong with his belly" OMG I WAS SOOOO HAPPY Finally some answers and they were great news!!!! after all this time that I had been freaking Out over Kaden's Life turns out he is Just fine ooh They also said he has beautiful bone structure and will be a very cute handsome baby , I am so pleased, OH and I have been so worried all week . HE HAS NOTHING WRONG < NO DOWNS > NO ABNORMALITIES< nothing wrong!
Can't wait till our son is finally here!!!

Oh, thank goodness! I had to come back and check after I'd read you received that letter! I'm SO happy that he's fine. Unique is good when it doesn't cause any trouble! CONGRATS on a great scan. I'm sure Kaden will be every bit as adorable as his name!

i now see baby kick when i'm laying down, it's been visible for longer but it's one of the first times i actually saw it, the other times i was in bed and it was dark and bc the way my hand was i knew it just HAD to be visible with the naked eye haha

our cat is a bit ill...so we're changing his food once again.
he has to fast today, poor thing, but he doesn't look too bothered with it atm,
but wait untill we'll have dinner (piiiizzzzaaaaa!!!), he'll want a bite but can only sniffle, aw.

I know what you mean, exercise is the last thing you feel like Mine only suggested one gentle exercise. Whats helped me most is she has suggested keeping my bum cheeks clenched all the time when standing to form a stable muscle to hold your pelvis still and keeping your legs together when doing stuff like hoovering, mopping, its amazing how much you stand with one leg in front of the other without realising it, it stops the grating feeling i get on the front, i'm going to dig my belt out over the weekend as mines getting sore now when i'm at work, standing and walking job unfortunately so can't do much about that! x

 

[Lianne1986]

mine hurts mostly in my groin. like u know when u clench ur bum cheeks together like u do when u need a wee or sumthing, im sorry ur in pain hun, it really isnt nice,

i neva had any of this with tyler

Yeah my SPD is getting bad. It sounds the same as you girls. It hurts to walk, put on pants, go up stairs! Plus my sciatic nerve is hurting again. The exercises the physio gave me to do dont work anymore because my belly is in the way. Makes me scared of what is to come in the next 11 or so weeks if I am already hurting like this.

I had a terrible bout of Sciatica a few weeks ago Brai, thats when i started the physio. According to my physio its all linked to my SPD, its just another symptom of it, i suppose the ligaments are weak all over and causing all sorts of problems for us! x

 

[braijackava]

I feel like i constantly have my legs spread eagle because it is the only position my pubic bone isn't killing me in.

 

[Lianne1986]

i suffer with sciatica when im not pregnant, but touch wood it hasnt played up yet,

it does hurt to get dressed tho,

 

[mislaww]

to all the ladies suffering from SPD!

 

[Minimin]

:wave: Misslaw! How are you doing?
Ladies with SPD
AFM- hitting 28 weeks on wednesday- TB- your missing me on your list
Have MW tomorrow where I will ask about flu jab- still umming and aahhhing on that one- Bloods for 28w, HiP Grant form and where babba is lying. She was transverse two weeks ago and apparently things start changing now! 28 Week scan on Wednesday morning- I hate the legacy a loss leaves behind as I am already worrying about the scan- something silly like umbilical will be wrapped around her or something
I am feeling lots of movement now though
TC ladies keep safe and warm
