Greetings Ding Dongs
Just tucking into left over chinese
Nice evening last night, went over to DH's dads for Chinese. It was to mark a year since DH mum died
Chinese was her fav, so was nice to be together. Taking the day slow here, sooooooooooo tired
Lupine, sorry its looking like you have so fertility issues. Don't google
and keep positive. There are options for you, and your gonna get there

Mommyv, I defo agree you need a Ob who has experience with high risk pregnancys. FX you find a good one who makes you feel reassured
x
Jenny, think its a great idea to get DH to go to his G.P. I don't agree that the Depo is still affecting your fertility now, I know it can take some time, but I don't believe it takes that long. Yes get DH to keep quiet about it, and try and go down that route. FX you get some joy. Was wondering how your test went, sorry it was a BFN

Hopes, glad DH is recovering and hope he can help you finish the nursery soon. Your right about sitting, I learnt early on with my back problems that sitting actually puts more pressure on your back than standing. Hope it doesn't get to sore for you

MC sorry, I totally missed you asking about back pain. Well Hopes was right about keeping active if you can, but like you said, its not that easy
The only way I get through the day with my back and pelvic pain is:
Hundreds of pillows in bed including a giant U pillow: https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BIG-V-SUPPOR...cy_MJ&var=&hash=item6d6fd8ad5b#ht_3939wt_1139
and V pillow behind me on the sofa and feet elevated on footstall most of the day
Hot packs / wheat pillows especially this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0010NE0O8/ref=oss_product
Showers (baths would be better but I can't get in and out anymore
) I have a shower seat which makes it a little more relaxing
A tens machine, although I'm not convinced this helps really.
Deep freeze spray, when pain in severe (the heat one shouldn't be used in pregnancy)
A support belt
Not leaning over, or lifting anything heavy.
Gentle exercises such as the cat https://www.askamum.co.uk/Pregnancy/Search-Results/Exercise/Safe-Exercises-During-Pregnancy/
Sitting on a birthing ball is also meant to be good, although I'm not allowed with my pelvic problems so I haven't tried.
ok overkill on the advice, sorry MC
anyhow, hope your ok. x
Coral all the painting done now?!
